1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,666
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schreeger is a production of the

2
00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:24,306
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, Everybody, Welcome to

3
00:00:24,386 --> 00:00:27,426
Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreger. We are in the beginning

4
00:00:27,506 --> 00:00:30,146
Speaker 1: of June, so you might say not much football going on,

5
00:00:30,226 --> 00:00:33,986
Speaker 1: but there is. The Chiefs are at the White House

6
00:00:34,026 --> 00:00:37,346
Speaker 1: as we speak. DeAndre Hopkins is a free agent as

7
00:00:37,386 --> 00:00:41,386
Speaker 1: we speak. Dalvin Cook is potentially going to be moving

8
00:00:41,386 --> 00:00:43,826
Speaker 1: but yet is still a Minnesota Viking as we speak.

9
00:00:44,146 --> 00:00:46,546
Speaker 1: But I had a really cool weekend and an opportunity

10
00:00:46,586 --> 00:00:49,666
Speaker 1: to speak with two of the biggest stars in the NFL,

11
00:00:49,746 --> 00:00:53,626
Speaker 1: amongst many other stars, some of them being previous guests

12
00:00:53,626 --> 00:00:56,426
Speaker 1: on this very podcast. So a couple of years back,

13
00:00:57,106 --> 00:00:59,866
Speaker 1: when I became pretty close with Paul Rudd, who we've

14
00:00:59,866 --> 00:01:02,186
Speaker 1: had on the show, he invited me to come to

15
00:01:02,266 --> 00:01:05,306
Speaker 1: an event held every year in Kansas City called the

16
00:01:05,306 --> 00:01:08,386
Speaker 1: Big Slick Case, and I saw it as a cool

17
00:01:08,386 --> 00:01:11,506
Speaker 1: opportunity to play in a celebrity softball game. I've never

18
00:01:11,506 --> 00:01:13,746
Speaker 1: been invited to do anything like that. I've never considered

19
00:01:13,786 --> 00:01:16,466
Speaker 1: myself a celebrity. I said that'd be neat. What I

20
00:01:16,466 --> 00:01:22,146
Speaker 1: didn't realize is that it's one of the coolest I

21
00:01:22,146 --> 00:01:25,946
Speaker 1: guess impactful weekends of the year for me, And every

22
00:01:26,026 --> 00:01:27,466
Speaker 1: year it hits me in a different way. And it's

23
00:01:27,506 --> 00:01:30,786
Speaker 1: because they use all the money and they raise all

24
00:01:30,826 --> 00:01:33,746
Speaker 1: the awareness and they do this amazing auction and they

25
00:01:33,786 --> 00:01:35,866
Speaker 1: sell tickets to an amazing show and it all goes

26
00:01:35,906 --> 00:01:39,266
Speaker 1: to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. And on Saturday

27
00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:42,226
Speaker 1: morning of the weekend, you visit the hospital and what

28
00:01:42,266 --> 00:01:45,826
Speaker 1: you're meeting is just right in your face, and it's

29
00:01:45,946 --> 00:01:49,906
Speaker 1: kids who are coping with cancer and you're visiting with them,

30
00:01:49,946 --> 00:01:53,266
Speaker 1: going room to room. And in your groups, you're with

31
00:01:53,306 --> 00:01:54,866
Speaker 1: some of the biggest entertainers in the world, but you're

32
00:01:54,866 --> 00:01:58,946
Speaker 1: also with some amazing athletes and just people that have

33
00:01:59,626 --> 00:02:02,906
Speaker 1: rare skills that can make a kid's day. So in

34
00:02:02,946 --> 00:02:07,346

146
00:07:49,226 --> 00:07:52,866

Speaker 1: even sharing on this iHeart podcast that has made me

148
00:07:55,986 --> 00:07:59,026

154
00:08:20,146 --> 00:08:23,866
Speaker 1: how they come about. And I could do a documentary

155
00:08:23,866 --> 00:08:27,386
Speaker 1: on like the the the nucleus of a great prank

156
00:08:27,466 --> 00:08:29,866
Speaker 1: phone call, and Richard Christi, of course is the master

157
00:08:29,946 --> 00:08:32,026
Speaker 1: of them all. And Sean and I are just like,

158
00:08:32,186 --> 00:08:34,786
Speaker 1: you know, at his on his knee, like listening like

159
00:08:34,826 --> 00:08:37,946
Speaker 1: two kids at like at the campfire to like a

160
00:08:37,946 --> 00:08:41,826
Speaker 1: great mentor teaching us the ropes. Shawn Evans is I

161
00:08:41,866 --> 00:08:44,906
Speaker 1: think I've said this, uh, and I'm not looking to

162
00:08:44,906 --> 00:08:46,306
Speaker 1: be on a show. I love this because he was

163
00:08:46,306 --> 00:08:48,186
Speaker 1: telling me that, like people like pitch themselves on a

164
00:08:48,226 --> 00:08:50,306
Speaker 1: show and they're not. They're not necessarily a list and

165
00:08:50,306 --> 00:08:52,746
Speaker 1: it's always a very awkward conversation. And I'm like, I'm

166
00:08:52,786 --> 00:08:56,466
Speaker 1: so glad I've never like pitching myself too. I think

167
00:08:56,506 --> 00:09:00,786
Speaker 1: it goes like for me personally, Howard Stern as far

168
00:09:00,786 --> 00:09:05,906
Speaker 1: as celebrity interviewer goes Letterman because he was so off

169
00:09:05,946 --> 00:09:08,666
Speaker 1: kilter in his ways. He didn't like worship the guests.

170
00:09:10,266 --> 00:09:12,546
Speaker 1: I really do you know. I think Mark Marin's a

171
00:09:12,546 --> 00:09:15,026
Speaker 1: great celebrity interviewer, as much as people want to knock

172
00:09:15,106 --> 00:09:18,466
Speaker 1: him in some of his own you know, whatever it

173
00:09:18,506 --> 00:09:19,946
Speaker 1: is in his way about going it. And then I

174
00:09:19,946 --> 00:09:22,066
Speaker 1: think it's Sean Evans for this generation and if you're

175
00:09:22,066 --> 00:09:24,786
Speaker 1: not familiar with hot ones, it's so hard to explain.

176
00:09:24,826 --> 00:09:26,786
Speaker 1: Like Jason mccordy wasn't familiar with it, so I started

177
00:09:26,786 --> 00:09:28,826
Speaker 1: to explain it to him today on Good Morning Football

178
00:09:28,826 --> 00:09:31,786
Speaker 1: off camera, and I'm like, so, there's a gimmick, And

179
00:09:31,826 --> 00:09:34,946
Speaker 1: the gimmick is there's ten hot wings and you're asking

180
00:09:34,986 --> 00:09:38,226
Speaker 1: ten questions as you eat wings that get increasingly hotter

181
00:09:38,266 --> 00:09:40,786
Speaker 1: and hotter and hotter, and by the end the interviewee

182
00:09:40,866 --> 00:09:43,466
Speaker 1: is sweating and they're all out of sorts and like,

183
00:09:43,946 --> 00:09:45,266
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, it's kind of like that like

184
00:09:45,306 --> 00:09:47,946
Speaker 1: Potato Chip Hot Chip Challenge. I'm like, I hate that.

185
00:09:48,026 --> 00:09:52,826
Speaker 1: It's like limit, Aaron, You've watched all the hot ones, right, he's.

186
00:09:52,626 --> 00:09:55,666
Speaker 3: An encouraged not all of them, but yeah, I've.

187
00:09:55,546 --> 00:09:56,626
Speaker 1: Seen but like most of them.

188
00:09:56,666 --> 00:09:56,826
Speaker 2: Right.

189
00:09:56,906 --> 00:10:00,106
Speaker 1: Like, first of all, I would say this hot Ones

190
00:10:00,306 --> 00:10:03,386
Speaker 1: is the equivalent now of like being on the cover

191
00:10:03,506 --> 00:10:08,666
Speaker 1: of GQ magazine or Sanity Fair in the two early

192
00:10:08,706 --> 00:10:11,226
Speaker 1: two thousands, or like, you know, the cover of Esquire

193
00:10:11,266 --> 00:10:14,026
Speaker 1: there's a spread, there's an art of Vogue. Like those

194
00:10:14,066 --> 00:10:16,026
Speaker 1: don't really exist in the same way these. No one's

195
00:10:16,066 --> 00:10:18,826
Speaker 1: like buying you know, Vogue to read the Big Interview

196
00:10:18,826 --> 00:10:21,306
Speaker 1: anymore or buying GQ to read the Big Interview. But

197
00:10:21,346 --> 00:10:23,026
Speaker 1: back when I was starting off as a writer, like

198
00:10:23,506 --> 00:10:26,066
Speaker 1: you do one celebrity profile when you're promoting a movie,

199
00:10:26,106 --> 00:10:27,906
Speaker 1: and you do it with one of these men's magazines,

200
00:10:27,906 --> 00:10:29,426
Speaker 1: and that's just what it would be, and you do

201
00:10:29,506 --> 00:10:31,786
Speaker 1: it and then you get the access to it. That's

202
00:10:31,826 --> 00:10:34,186
Speaker 1: what Sean Evans' show is now. I mean this week

203
00:10:34,186 --> 00:10:35,986
Speaker 1: I just looked he got Julia Louis Dreyfus, So I

204
00:10:35,986 --> 00:10:38,106
Speaker 1: don't see doing a ton of you know, last week

205
00:10:38,146 --> 00:10:40,586
Speaker 1: with Sadeikis as ted LASO was doing their finale, he

206
00:10:40,626 --> 00:10:44,226
Speaker 1: had Paul Rudd, obviously, Matt Damon, Jake Jonhall, and like

207
00:10:44,906 --> 00:10:47,426
Speaker 1: they're the greatest interviews. They're the greatest interviews we've got

208
00:10:47,506 --> 00:10:50,546
Speaker 1: right now. And I'm not, you know, at all advertising

209
00:10:50,626 --> 00:10:53,786
Speaker 1: or doing commercial but to hang with Sean, like he's cool,

210
00:10:53,986 --> 00:10:56,906
Speaker 1: he's a cool dude, and that event, the Big Slick

211
00:10:56,946 --> 00:10:58,626
Speaker 1: is a great opportunity to get to know people like

212
00:10:58,626 --> 00:11:02,146
Speaker 1: this and oh, by the way, diehard Bears fan who

213
00:11:02,986 --> 00:11:05,706
Speaker 1: is all in on Justin Fields and it's Buddy Nick

214
00:11:05,946 --> 00:11:08,146
Speaker 1: who he brought as his guest, and we were hanging

215
00:11:08,186 --> 00:11:10,146
Speaker 1: the whole time. He's a diehard Bears fan who's all

216
00:11:10,186 --> 00:11:13,026
Speaker 1: in on Justin Fields. And if the two of them

217
00:11:13,066 --> 00:11:17,586
Speaker 1: are at all symbolic of Bears fans right now, we

218
00:11:17,666 --> 00:11:19,426
Speaker 1: might as well cancel the season and just have the

219
00:11:19,426 --> 00:11:22,146
Speaker 1: parade and put the gold jacket on Justin Darnfields. Like

220
00:11:22,826 --> 00:11:25,746
Speaker 1: the amount of Bears fans who I did a list of,

221
00:11:25,786 --> 00:11:28,506
Speaker 1: like breakout players or something, and on the show I

222
00:11:28,506 --> 00:11:32,266
Speaker 1: didn't put Justin feel like the Justin Fields hype is

223
00:11:32,306 --> 00:11:35,626
Speaker 1: out of control right now, and maybe I'm proven wrong,

224
00:11:35,666 --> 00:11:37,666
Speaker 1: And then I'm saying, let's temper it for a second.

225
00:11:37,946 --> 00:11:40,666
Speaker 1: Long story, short Seaan Evans, diehard Bears fan, knows his

226
00:11:40,706 --> 00:11:45,986
Speaker 1: stuff and big Seleck. They as a whole raised three

227
00:11:46,026 --> 00:11:48,786
Speaker 1: million dollars this weekend, but over the course of fourteen

228
00:11:48,866 --> 00:11:52,306
Speaker 1: years have raised twenty one million dollars for a children's hospital.

229
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,586
Speaker 1: Real quick, before we get to our guest, I will

230
00:11:55,626 --> 00:11:57,946
Speaker 1: tell you that Patrick Mahomes made the greatest play I've

231
00:11:57,986 --> 00:12:02,586
Speaker 1: ever seen in a baseball, softball t ball game. And

232
00:12:02,786 --> 00:12:04,706
Speaker 1: he did it. And let me set the context for you.

233
00:12:04,706 --> 00:12:08,426
Speaker 1: You've got all these actors and comedians and like you know,

234
00:12:09,146 --> 00:12:12,346
Speaker 1: there's a couple guys who might have played college athletics

235
00:12:12,346 --> 00:12:15,786
Speaker 1: at some point. There's a few who maybe play in

236
00:12:15,826 --> 00:12:18,546
Speaker 1: a men's softball league. Patrick Mahomes will be the greatest

237
00:12:18,546 --> 00:12:21,306
Speaker 1: athlete living right now. So it's a bunch of third

238
00:12:21,346 --> 00:12:24,786
Speaker 1: theater nerds more or less, and Patrick Mahomes playing softball,

239
00:12:24,826 --> 00:12:27,186
Speaker 1: so you think he would take it easy. Mahomes hit

240
00:12:27,186 --> 00:12:28,986
Speaker 1: a home run. Didn't have to do that to show

241
00:12:28,986 --> 00:12:31,666
Speaker 1: everybody up, but he did. And then there was a

242
00:12:31,706 --> 00:12:34,826
Speaker 1: ground ball. The ball, I want to say, was hit

243
00:12:34,866 --> 00:12:36,946
Speaker 1: by Eric stone Street, who we've had on the show

244
00:12:36,986 --> 00:12:39,466
Speaker 1: and is just a lovely guy and great ambassador for

245
00:12:39,666 --> 00:12:41,866
Speaker 1: Kansas City and the Big Slick. It's a dribbler to

246
00:12:41,906 --> 00:12:47,106
Speaker 1: third base. Mahomes picks it up, throws a softball behind

247
00:12:47,186 --> 00:12:50,666
Speaker 1: the back from the third base line to first base,

248
00:12:50,706 --> 00:12:53,906
Speaker 1: where I believe Bobby Countavalli, the actor was playing first base.

249
00:12:54,426 --> 00:12:57,426
Speaker 1: Throws it on a rope and you can google this,

250
00:12:57,586 --> 00:13:00,186
Speaker 1: you can look for it online right now. Mahomes throws

251
00:13:00,226 --> 00:13:03,386
Speaker 1: it perfectly, and it's a behind the back flip ninety

252
00:13:03,466 --> 00:13:06,986
Speaker 1: yards whatever, ninety feet whatever it is from third base

253
00:13:07,026 --> 00:13:09,186
Speaker 1: to first it's on a rope. He throws out stone

254
00:13:09,186 --> 00:13:13,186
Speaker 1: Street and everyone's just like, oh, Mahomes. It's insane. It

255
00:13:13,266 --> 00:13:16,506
Speaker 1: is an insane athletic play. I've never seen more. Imagine

256
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:20,306
Speaker 1: throwing a softball. Softball is not a baseball softball behind

257
00:13:20,346 --> 00:13:23,946
Speaker 1: your back, ninety feet, sixty feet whatever, third to first

258
00:13:24,026 --> 00:13:26,746
Speaker 1: is on a rope. And he did that. And so

259
00:13:26,866 --> 00:13:29,506
Speaker 1: after the night. Next night we're hanging out backstage and

260
00:13:29,746 --> 00:13:31,626
Speaker 1: I got a lot of time with Patrick. He was cool,

261
00:13:31,666 --> 00:13:34,306
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm like, you realize you didn't.

262
00:13:34,306 --> 00:13:36,186
Speaker 1: You didn't look like you pick up the ball and

263
00:13:36,186 --> 00:13:38,306
Speaker 1: in one motion you'd throw it like that's an insane

264
00:13:38,306 --> 00:13:41,106
Speaker 1: thing to do athletically. It's it's just not normal. And

265
00:13:41,146 --> 00:13:43,346
Speaker 1: he's like, and I'm gonna do my Mahomes voice was like,

266
00:13:43,666 --> 00:13:46,066
Speaker 1: h you know, if I if I you know, if

267
00:13:46,106 --> 00:13:48,426
Speaker 1: I threw it until the stands, we would all laughed

268
00:13:48,426 --> 00:13:50,786
Speaker 1: about it. So I figure, why not I went for it? Yeah, yeah,

269
00:13:50,786 --> 00:13:52,346
Speaker 1: why not? I went for it as if, as if

270
00:13:52,386 --> 00:13:55,146
Speaker 1: it's the easiest thing. Like in one hundred tries, I

271
00:13:55,146 --> 00:13:58,626
Speaker 1: could not have done what Mahomes did with that flipper

272
00:13:58,626 --> 00:14:01,226
Speaker 1: over behind the back, and yet he nails it. He

273
00:14:01,266 --> 00:14:05,226
Speaker 1: throws him out. Mahomes and Kelsey hung for like five

274
00:14:05,306 --> 00:14:08,826
Speaker 1: hours on Saturday, night and they were just great. Kelsey

275
00:14:08,866 --> 00:14:12,066
Speaker 1: did Hot Ones Challenge. He was sweating his face off

276
00:14:12,306 --> 00:14:15,026
Speaker 1: and just eating the hottest wings. And I can't say

277
00:14:15,066 --> 00:14:17,666
Speaker 1: enough about those two guys. What great ambassadors for the sport.

278
00:14:17,906 --> 00:14:21,146
Speaker 1: Two awesome young men, and I had an amazing weekend. Myhomes

279
00:14:21,146 --> 00:14:23,106
Speaker 1: had a good point. We were talking for a while again,

280
00:14:23,146 --> 00:14:25,386
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm his you know, biographer at this point,

281
00:14:25,426 --> 00:14:27,786
Speaker 1: because we hung out one night. He's like, I'm not

282
00:14:27,826 --> 00:14:30,946
Speaker 1: sure this could work in LA or New York or

283
00:14:31,786 --> 00:14:34,986
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Special. You've got a this great celebrity corps

284
00:14:34,986 --> 00:14:37,026
Speaker 1: that these guys all love to give back, but also

285
00:14:37,786 --> 00:14:42,146
Speaker 1: like the city really really really you know, rallies around

286
00:14:42,706 --> 00:14:46,026
Speaker 1: causes like this, and for they sold out an arena

287
00:14:46,186 --> 00:14:48,906
Speaker 1: for this Saturday night event and for all these different celebrities.

288
00:14:48,946 --> 00:14:51,706
Speaker 1: Darius Rutger was on a we do the thing and

289
00:14:51,746 --> 00:14:54,226
Speaker 1: there's like a little post party, and post party went

290
00:14:54,266 --> 00:14:56,266
Speaker 1: longer for others than they did for me. And I

291
00:14:56,346 --> 00:14:59,146
Speaker 1: take the elevator down for the post party with Darius Rucker,

292
00:14:59,186 --> 00:15:00,906
Speaker 1: who I'm like, oh my god, Like I'm in an

293
00:15:00,906 --> 00:15:02,746
Speaker 1: elevator just you know, me and him and his guys

294
00:15:02,746 --> 00:15:05,706
Speaker 1: from his band and I'm like, I'm going to bed.

295
00:15:05,706 --> 00:15:07,986
Speaker 1: What are you doing? And he's like, Oh, we're hopping

296
00:15:08,026 --> 00:15:10,386
Speaker 1: in the tour bus. We've got to show in Nashville tomorrow,

297
00:15:10,706 --> 00:15:12,746
Speaker 1: like for him on his one night off to be

298
00:15:12,866 --> 00:15:15,946
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. But that's kind of what Kansas City

299
00:15:16,026 --> 00:15:18,186
Speaker 1: is that it attracts these people to come and those

300
00:15:18,226 --> 00:15:20,986
Speaker 1: fans are amazing. So as I go on and on

301
00:15:21,026 --> 00:15:23,426
Speaker 1: about why the Kansas City Chiefs fans are the greatest

302
00:15:23,466 --> 00:15:25,546
Speaker 1: thing and why Kansas City is most amazing city, I

303
00:15:25,586 --> 00:15:27,266
Speaker 1: record this from New York City, where I would never

304
00:15:27,386 --> 00:15:28,986
Speaker 1: leave in a million years if I didn't have to,

305
00:15:29,026 --> 00:15:31,586

Speaker 1: I am a great purveyor of pop culture and sports.

328
00:16:31,866 --> 00:16:34,346
Speaker 1: So can I share where we saw each other In

329
00:16:34,386 --> 00:16:38,226
Speaker 1: the most amazing of situations. I'm jogging, so if you

330
00:16:38,706 --> 00:16:40,506
Speaker 1: know me and you see me, I'm not in shape.

331
00:16:40,506 --> 00:16:42,786
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get in shape. So I was jogging

332
00:16:42,826 --> 00:16:44,946
Speaker 1: one morning, like putting on a farce that I'm gonna

333
00:16:44,946 --> 00:16:47,626
Speaker 1: suddenly be the guy who runs around Brooklyn Heights. And

334
00:16:47,626 --> 00:16:49,986
Speaker 1: I'm running and out of the corner of my eye

335
00:16:50,026 --> 00:16:51,866
Speaker 1: I see Hanka's area and I'm like it was eight

336
00:16:51,866 --> 00:16:54,066
Speaker 1: in the morning, and I'm like, this is unbelievable. I

337
00:16:54,106 --> 00:16:55,626
Speaker 1: love this guy. Do I stop? Do I keep on

338
00:16:55,706 --> 00:16:57,866
Speaker 1: going and listen to my Mark Maren podcast as I'm

339
00:16:57,906 --> 00:17:01,146
Speaker 1: running around the block, or do I just And then

340
00:17:01,226 --> 00:17:03,506
Speaker 1: Hank gives me the nod. I'm like, I gotta stop.

341
00:17:03,546 --> 00:17:06,026
Speaker 1: We had an awesome short conversation. But I even know

342
00:17:06,146 --> 00:17:07,626
Speaker 1: you lived New York. I love the fact you're in

343
00:17:07,626 --> 00:17:08,266
Speaker 1: New Yorker.

344
00:17:08,746 --> 00:17:10,946
Speaker 4: I grew up in Queen's moved back here ten years ago.

345
00:17:11,226 --> 00:17:13,626
Speaker 4: I had seen you a little before, just from a distance,

346
00:17:13,706 --> 00:17:15,946
Speaker 4: at the Nick gad one of the Nick playoff games,

347
00:17:16,266 --> 00:17:19,746
Speaker 4: one that they won. So yeah, I've been you know,

348
00:17:19,466 --> 00:17:21,226
Speaker 4: I know, I know you anywhere. I've been a fan

349
00:17:21,306 --> 00:17:22,026
Speaker 4: for a long time.

350
00:17:22,266 --> 00:17:24,466
Speaker 1: The next thing was cool because Joe Shane, the GM

351
00:17:24,466 --> 00:17:27,106
Speaker 1: of the Giants, was there and he was sitting I

352
00:17:27,146 --> 00:17:28,586
Speaker 1: guess a row in front of you. And I go

353
00:17:28,626 --> 00:17:31,386
Speaker 1: and say hi to Joe, and Mike Breen starts coming

354
00:17:31,466 --> 00:17:33,706
Speaker 1: up from the stands and I think Mike Breen's making

355
00:17:33,746 --> 00:17:35,506
Speaker 1: a gesture to say hi to me, and I was

356
00:17:35,506 --> 00:17:37,786
Speaker 1: about to geek out. He blows right past me and

357
00:17:37,826 --> 00:17:39,506
Speaker 1: I look behind me and there's Hanka's area that Mike

358
00:17:39,506 --> 00:17:41,266
Speaker 1: Breen is saying hello to him, like, all right, that's humbling,

359
00:17:41,306 --> 00:17:41,706
Speaker 1: that's fun.

360
00:17:42,786 --> 00:17:45,586
Speaker 4: I love Mike Green also, I've been chatting with him

361
00:17:45,586 --> 00:17:47,466
Speaker 4: for years at nick Games and elsewhere.

362
00:17:47,706 --> 00:17:50,186
Speaker 1: Awesome voice. The move to New York. You were in

363
00:17:50,226 --> 00:17:52,986
Speaker 1: California for years, I'm sure because I'm raising a kid

364
00:17:53,026 --> 00:17:55,826
Speaker 1: in New York now too, and it's a fight every day,

365
00:17:55,826 --> 00:17:58,146
Speaker 1: and yet I've tried to grit it out, like why

366
00:17:58,186 --> 00:18:00,546
Speaker 1: did you move back to New York from LA after

367
00:18:00,546 --> 00:18:01,306
Speaker 1: all those years?

368
00:18:01,546 --> 00:18:03,466
Speaker 2: One of the reasons was you mentioned kids.

369
00:18:03,546 --> 00:18:06,146
Speaker 4: I really didn't want to raise my son in the

370
00:18:06,626 --> 00:18:10,586
Speaker 4: to show business, which you can't avoid in Los Angeles,

371
00:18:10,386 --> 00:18:13,066
Speaker 4: There's just no way. So I wanted him to have

372
00:18:13,106 --> 00:18:19,666
Speaker 4: a more eclectic, a more varied look at humanity.

373
00:18:19,186 --> 00:18:21,066
Speaker 2: Than just through the lens of people who work in

374
00:18:21,106 --> 00:18:21,706
Speaker 2: show business.

375
00:18:21,786 --> 00:18:24,226
Speaker 4: Yeah there's anything wrong with those people, but it's really

376
00:18:24,306 --> 00:18:26,106
Speaker 4: only one province heard from.

377
00:18:26,586 --> 00:18:29,386
Speaker 2: And this sounds like a joke, and it kind of is.

378
00:18:29,426 --> 00:18:30,266
Speaker 2: There's only have a joke.

379
00:18:30,466 --> 00:18:34,746
Speaker 4: I wanted to raise a Mets fan, yes, just so

380
00:18:35,386 --> 00:18:37,786
Speaker 4: that I have support for this in my old age,

381
00:18:38,186 --> 00:18:40,546
Speaker 4: and even in doing that, and it's worked. I have

382
00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:43,426
Speaker 4: a Mets fan. He's about to be fourteen tomorrow. In fact,

383
00:18:43,466 --> 00:18:46,426
Speaker 4: oh congrats, I'd say twice a year though all through

384
00:18:46,426 --> 00:18:50,026
Speaker 4: his childhood he has come to me very earnestly and said, Dad,

385
00:18:50,786 --> 00:18:51,986
Speaker 4: are you sure.

386
00:18:51,706 --> 00:18:52,866
Speaker 2: We can't be Yankee fans?

387
00:18:52,946 --> 00:18:53,386
Speaker 1: Yeah?

388
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:56,146
Speaker 4: I'm like, it's a very smart question. I don't blame

389
00:18:56,146 --> 00:18:58,866
Speaker 4: you for asking it, but no, sadly we can't.

390
00:18:59,066 --> 00:19:02,426
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that. And the Mets this year, everyone

391
00:19:02,466 --> 00:19:04,026
Speaker 1: picking him before the season to win the World Series.

392
00:19:04,026 --> 00:19:06,066
Speaker 1: They actually got hot again. But it's so funny. I'm like, oh,

393
00:19:06,106 --> 00:19:07,866
Speaker 1: my Mets, are you guys seriously buying in?

394
00:19:07,906 --> 00:19:08,626
Speaker 2: I mean, you know.

395
00:19:08,626 --> 00:19:10,626
Speaker 1: Something assure enough. They start the season just a million

396
00:19:10,666 --> 00:19:13,066
Speaker 1: things go wrong, But that's the life and the ethos

397
00:19:13,066 --> 00:19:13,986
Speaker 1: of being a metsvan.

398
00:19:14,386 --> 00:19:16,626
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm Mets Jets nick. So I hear it from

399
00:19:16,706 --> 00:19:19,826
Speaker 4: three corner. I'm getting it from my friends now about

400
00:19:19,866 --> 00:19:22,226
Speaker 4: the Jets. You don't really believe they're canna have a

401
00:19:22,266 --> 00:19:25,386
Speaker 4: good season, do you. It's like, well, that part of

402
00:19:25,426 --> 00:19:27,586
Speaker 4: being Jets Mets nicks, as you have hope to start

403
00:19:27,626 --> 00:19:29,746
Speaker 4: out and then you get destroyed totally.

404
00:19:30,266 --> 00:19:33,266
Speaker 1: And the Jets thing is unbelievable. I mean, he's doing

405
00:19:33,306 --> 00:19:36,266
Speaker 1: everything right. You and I live in New York, like

406
00:19:36,386 --> 00:19:38,826
Speaker 1: he's doing it. It's almost like, if I can go

407
00:19:38,906 --> 00:19:40,866
Speaker 1: back to my younger self, how would I have done this?

408
00:19:41,026 --> 00:19:43,866
Speaker 1: Rogers is thirty nine, so he can see the script before.

409
00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:46,306
Speaker 1: He's wiser than some of the other young quarterbacks. He's

410
00:19:46,306 --> 00:19:48,026
Speaker 1: wiser than some of these other Jets rookies that have

411
00:19:48,066 --> 00:19:51,226
Speaker 1: come in where he knows little gestures, going to the

412
00:19:51,306 --> 00:19:54,026
Speaker 1: next game at the Garden, taking a young star like

413
00:19:54,626 --> 00:19:57,826
Speaker 1: sauce with him, going to the Rangers game, going to

414
00:19:57,826 --> 00:20:00,306
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift a couple of nights, just being present. It

415
00:20:00,386 --> 00:20:02,026
Speaker 1: goes such a long way to be like I am

416
00:20:02,346 --> 00:20:03,826
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers to be like I am proud to

417
00:20:03,826 --> 00:20:06,906
Speaker 1: be a New York Jet. It is I mean, Jets

418
00:20:06,906 --> 00:20:08,826
Speaker 1: fans are over the moon right now just actually having

419
00:20:08,826 --> 00:20:10,106
Speaker 1: a reason to be proud and excited.

420
00:20:10,986 --> 00:20:13,146
Speaker 4: Well, yes, one, it would be hard. It would be

421
00:20:13,266 --> 00:20:15,786
Speaker 4: very difficult not to be wiser than many of the

422
00:20:15,826 --> 00:20:18,066
Speaker 4: Jets rookies who have come in. That's a very low bar.

423
00:20:18,546 --> 00:20:21,426
Speaker 4: But my cynical friend points out, like, yeah, and the

424
00:20:21,426 --> 00:20:23,186
Speaker 4: camera's been there every time he's done a thing.

425
00:20:24,466 --> 00:20:26,866
Speaker 1: That's the Giants fans talking. That's what the Giants fans

426
00:20:26,866 --> 00:20:29,386
Speaker 1: are saying. Like enough can he go into public without

427
00:20:29,466 --> 00:20:32,266
Speaker 1: having you know, a million cameras around a hilarious but

428
00:20:32,346 --> 00:20:33,386
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, I.

429
00:20:33,426 --> 00:20:36,986
Speaker 2: Was against the Rogers thing, adamantly talk about it. I

430
00:20:37,106 --> 00:20:37,426
Speaker 2: did not.

431
00:20:37,826 --> 00:20:40,186
Speaker 4: I think he gotta get you know, because I know

432
00:20:40,306 --> 00:20:43,706
Speaker 4: from Diva energy coming into situation, you don't want it.

433
00:20:44,466 --> 00:20:46,746
Speaker 2: See it's a deal with the devil. You don't want

434
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:47,266
Speaker 2: to do it.

435
00:20:47,706 --> 00:20:49,986
Speaker 4: They have nice chemistry in that locker room. They need

436
00:20:49,986 --> 00:20:54,306
Speaker 4: a mench I was all I was on the car train. No,

437
00:20:54,306 --> 00:20:57,186
Speaker 4: no weird pun intended there, but I thought that, you know,

438
00:20:57,626 --> 00:20:59,626
Speaker 4: that's I think that car I still think I don't

439
00:20:59,666 --> 00:21:01,906
Speaker 4: know how I'll do in New Orleans, but I think

440
00:21:01,906 --> 00:21:04,826
Speaker 4: he was the change of scenery is going to really help.

441
00:21:04,666 --> 00:21:06,746
Speaker 2: Him, and I think he was about to raise his game.

442
00:21:06,866 --> 00:21:10,506
Speaker 4: And I saw nothing but misery and problems from Aaron

443
00:21:10,946 --> 00:21:14,386
Speaker 4: if we even got them, you know, which was not

444
00:21:14,826 --> 00:21:18,506
Speaker 4: a slam dunk at all. But now I gotta say,

445
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:20,866
Speaker 4: I mean, I do admit that for one or two

446
00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:25,626
Speaker 4: seasons it's a bigger swing. There's a lower floor because

447
00:21:25,906 --> 00:21:29,466
Speaker 4: so many crazy things can go wrong, but it is

448
00:21:29,506 --> 00:21:32,306
Speaker 4: definitely a higher ceiling and he is doing all the

449
00:21:32,386 --> 00:21:34,426
Speaker 4: right things. And now I'm kind of psyched to see

450
00:21:34,946 --> 00:21:36,306
Speaker 4: he seems revitalized.

451
00:21:36,346 --> 00:21:37,386
Speaker 2: He just seems psyched.

452
00:21:37,866 --> 00:21:39,186
Speaker 1: He went he goes to the I mean he go

453
00:21:39,226 --> 00:21:41,546
Speaker 1: to Ota in the last few years. Yeah, the Packers.

454
00:21:41,586 --> 00:21:45,026
Speaker 1: He's there, he's president. And then we had a great story.

455
00:21:45,146 --> 00:21:47,106
Speaker 1: Zonovan Knight, who's one of the running backs, told us

456
00:21:47,146 --> 00:21:48,986
Speaker 1: a great story on Good Morning Football last week that

457
00:21:49,346 --> 00:21:51,066
Speaker 1: you know, they're in the running backs room, which is

458
00:21:51,106 --> 00:21:53,346
Speaker 1: such a you know, it's only five guys and it's

459
00:21:53,346 --> 00:21:55,306
Speaker 1: a running backs coach and Hacket's going through the offense

460
00:21:55,306 --> 00:21:57,586
Speaker 1: and it's in a dark room and they're talking about

461
00:21:57,586 --> 00:21:59,226
Speaker 1: some play and it's just the running backs. And then

462
00:21:59,266 --> 00:22:01,026
Speaker 1: in the back of the room, without them knowing it,

463
00:22:01,586 --> 00:22:03,226
Speaker 1: a voice pops in, like the voice of God, and

464
00:22:03,226 --> 00:22:05,626
Speaker 1: it's like, actually, Hackett, I think we should do this,

465
00:22:05,626 --> 00:22:07,386
Speaker 1: this and this, And it was Rogers just like over

466
00:22:07,506 --> 00:22:09,386
Speaker 1: listening like the running backs room, just wanting to lend

467
00:22:09,386 --> 00:22:10,986
Speaker 1: a hand to like teach the offense. And you hear

468
00:22:11,026 --> 00:22:12,666
Speaker 1: that and you're like heart melts. You're like, yes, that's

469
00:22:12,666 --> 00:22:13,466
Speaker 1: what we've been waiting for.

470
00:22:13,746 --> 00:22:16,546
Speaker 4: That's you know, my main problem with him, apart from

471
00:22:16,586 --> 00:22:22,506
Speaker 4: you know, immunization, word games and Joe Rogan appearances and

472
00:22:22,626 --> 00:22:27,306
Speaker 4: just weird stuff. Was that like last season? And finally

473
00:22:27,306 --> 00:22:29,946
Speaker 4: I think you said it, and not too many people did,

474
00:22:30,586 --> 00:22:32,466
Speaker 4: but I was wondering why more people didn't.

475
00:22:32,546 --> 00:22:35,666
Speaker 2: It was like the dude wouldn't get with his receivers.

476
00:22:35,746 --> 00:22:37,746
Speaker 2: Last year, they didn't gel till Week nine.

477
00:22:37,826 --> 00:22:40,586
Speaker 4: They probably would have made a playoff run if he

478
00:22:40,666 --> 00:22:41,586
Speaker 4: bothered in the office.

479
00:22:41,586 --> 00:22:44,026
Speaker 1: They started clicking later on in the year because he

480
00:22:44,066 --> 00:22:46,586
Speaker 1: wasn't with these young guys the first, you know, not to.

481
00:22:46,586 --> 00:22:48,986
Speaker 4: Mention if you noticed his first game or two, which

482
00:22:49,026 --> 00:22:51,906
Speaker 4: I'm sure you did, Peter, I mean throws to who

483
00:22:51,946 --> 00:22:56,146
Speaker 4: is this good Watson? Judiam once got kid, dropped it,

484
00:22:56,426 --> 00:22:58,906
Speaker 4: rolled his eyes and throwed him again for two weeks.

485
00:22:58,946 --> 00:23:02,746
Speaker 2: Come on, kind of parenting is this? So?

486
00:23:03,946 --> 00:23:06,306
Speaker 4: I just hated that, you know, but it doesn't seem

487
00:23:06,346 --> 00:23:07,466
Speaker 4: like he's doing that.

488
00:23:07,546 --> 00:23:09,466
Speaker 2: I think he needed to change his scenery worse than

489
00:23:09,506 --> 00:23:10,186
Speaker 2: Derek Carr.

490
00:23:10,386 --> 00:23:13,746
Speaker 1: No, totally, and you know Derek Carr when they were

491
00:23:13,786 --> 00:23:15,706
Speaker 1: meeting with him. I too, I said it on Good

492
00:23:15,706 --> 00:23:17,386
Speaker 1: Morning Football. I said it at the combine. I'm like,

493
00:23:17,786 --> 00:23:19,986
Speaker 1: he's an adult in the room, he's got four kids.

494
00:23:20,106 --> 00:23:22,226
Speaker 1: He's not going to embarrass your franchise. In any way.

495
00:23:22,266 --> 00:23:23,866
Speaker 1: He's not going to do anything out of school, and

496
00:23:23,906 --> 00:23:25,986
Speaker 1: like he'll come and he'll be a complete professional and

497
00:23:26,026 --> 00:23:29,426
Speaker 1: he'll be what the Jets probably needed at quarterback and

498
00:23:29,506 --> 00:23:31,866
Speaker 1: upgrade an adult in the room. Rogers was a huge

499
00:23:31,906 --> 00:23:34,226
Speaker 1: home run swing, and I'm with you. At first, I

500
00:23:34,306 --> 00:23:35,666
Speaker 1: was like Car would have been enough. They have a

501
00:23:35,666 --> 00:23:37,746
Speaker 1: really good team and Car's fine and he needed to

502
00:23:38,346 --> 00:23:40,586
Speaker 1: And then you know, I'm just hearing things from the

503
00:23:40,626 --> 00:23:43,866
Speaker 1: Jets coaches like they are freaking out. This guy. Rodgers

504
00:23:43,946 --> 00:23:45,306
Speaker 1: has been unbelievable.

505
00:23:45,666 --> 00:23:48,866
Speaker 4: Well his first press day, just the way he talks

506
00:23:48,906 --> 00:23:51,066
Speaker 4: about Joe Namath, I gets it.

507
00:23:51,146 --> 00:23:54,946
Speaker 1: Hello, And it's not hard to attract the Jet fan.

508
00:23:55,026 --> 00:23:57,546
Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying that he's patronizing condescending, but like

509
00:23:57,706 --> 00:23:59,866
Speaker 1: there are some real easy roads to go down to

510
00:23:59,946 --> 00:24:02,146
Speaker 1: like attract. I want to be here his first and

511
00:24:02,146 --> 00:24:04,506
Speaker 1: then you start referencing name it and you talk about,

512
00:24:04,706 --> 00:24:06,186
Speaker 1: you know, all the young talent and how good these

513
00:24:06,226 --> 00:24:08,466
Speaker 1: guys are. He gets it. That's the thing. I don't

514
00:24:08,506 --> 00:24:10,866
Speaker 1: think he's playing anybody. I think he's honest and genuine,

515
00:24:10,906 --> 00:24:14,266
Speaker 1: but he also he knows what to do in this situation.

516
00:24:14,346 --> 00:24:15,986
Speaker 1: And his pr game has been ten out of ten.

517
00:24:16,026 --> 00:24:16,946
Speaker 1: Since he got here.

518
00:24:17,266 --> 00:24:20,026
Speaker 4: To the point where, you know, it feels like God,

519
00:24:20,026 --> 00:24:22,586
Speaker 4: he should have been here ages ago. Like, right, the

520
00:24:22,626 --> 00:24:25,546
Speaker 4: guy was kind of made. Who else could step into

521
00:24:25,586 --> 00:24:28,186
Speaker 4: this media market and be like you No, no, the

522
00:24:28,226 --> 00:24:31,026
Speaker 4: guy makes news every time he opens his mouth anyway, so.

523
00:24:31,346 --> 00:24:34,106
Speaker 1: It makes sense, all right. So I'm sitting at home

524
00:24:34,146 --> 00:24:37,186
Speaker 1: and I'm watching The Succession finale and I'm all wrapped

525
00:24:37,226 --> 00:24:38,866
Speaker 1: up in Tom Wabm's gams and.

526
00:24:38,786 --> 00:24:41,826
Speaker 2: What spoilers because I'm about to binge season.

527
00:24:41,946 --> 00:24:43,986
Speaker 1: I'm not saying a word. I'm not saying a word,

528
00:24:43,986 --> 00:24:46,866
Speaker 1: all right. You know there's a character named Tom Wams gams.

00:24:46,986 --> 00:24:49,026
Speaker 1: I know that's all it is. And there's a promo

Speaker 4: off her aren't too thrilled. Yeah, And I actually my

557
00:26:13,906 --> 00:26:16,426
Speaker 4: character really loves her like a daughter found her when

558
00:26:16,426 --> 00:26:19,146
Speaker 4: she was eleven performing a ball in the valley and

559
00:26:20,426 --> 00:26:23,386
Speaker 4: took her through like the whole Disney thing, and then she,

560
00:26:23,626 --> 00:26:27,426
Speaker 4: you know, her first album went huge, and so it's

561
00:26:27,506 --> 00:26:31,626
Speaker 4: really kind of a voyeuristic window into the music industry.

562
00:26:32,146 --> 00:26:34,986
Speaker 1: And Dan Levy, who we loved in Shit's Creek, Key's

Speaker 2: Yeah.

567
00:26:39,786 --> 00:26:43,946
Speaker 1: And it's created by Sam Levinson, who did Euphoria, right.

568
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:49,626
Speaker 4: Sam Levinson, who does the does Euphoria. Euphoria is an

569
00:26:49,666 --> 00:26:53,106
Speaker 4: amazingly great show. But every parent's nightmare that show.

570
00:26:53,146 --> 00:26:54,626
Speaker 1: I have not seen it, and everyone's like, if you

571
00:26:54,666 --> 00:26:57,226
Speaker 1: ever have a daughter, do not or son go down

572
00:26:57,266 --> 00:26:59,466
Speaker 1: that road? Or son? Okay, yeah, I.

573
00:26:59,426 --> 00:27:02,146
Speaker 4: Mean look, that's why I didn't. I'd worked with Sam

574
00:27:02,186 --> 00:27:05,386
Speaker 4: is Barry Levins and son Legendarya Barry Levitz. I worked

575
00:27:05,386 --> 00:27:09,226
Speaker 4: with them a few years ago on an HBO film

576
00:27:09,266 --> 00:27:10,226
Speaker 4: called The Wizard.

577
00:27:09,866 --> 00:27:12,826
Speaker 2: Of Lies, doing de Niro as Bernie Madoff.

578
00:27:13,706 --> 00:27:14,826
Speaker 1: It was great. I remember it.

579
00:27:15,186 --> 00:27:18,466
Speaker 4: He was good and got along well with Sam. Then

580
00:27:19,306 --> 00:27:23,186
Speaker 4: he called me about this. I was like, sure, this

581
00:27:23,266 --> 00:27:26,506
Speaker 4: sounds amazing, but I didn't even realize that Sam had

582
00:27:26,506 --> 00:27:29,546
Speaker 4: done Euphoria. And then I started working with Sam and

583
00:27:29,586 --> 00:27:35,426
Speaker 4: loving him, trying to make a sports analogy to Sam. Sam,

584
00:27:35,746 --> 00:27:38,706
Speaker 4: he's a genuine filmmaker, like when there aren't too many

585
00:27:38,746 --> 00:27:43,626
Speaker 4: around anymore, writer, director, with a real vision. He would

586
00:27:43,626 --> 00:27:48,266
Speaker 4: be like somebody to make an NFL comparison like innovating

587
00:27:48,306 --> 00:27:50,746
Speaker 4: an offense, like somebody bringing in the next version of

588
00:27:50,786 --> 00:27:54,106
Speaker 4: an offense. You know, I haven't been with somebody like

589
00:27:54,146 --> 00:27:56,026
Speaker 4: that in a long time, and you noticed it right over.

590
00:27:56,106 --> 00:27:59,706
Speaker 4: You're like, because nothing's being done the way it usually.

591
00:27:59,426 --> 00:28:01,826
Speaker 1: Is, and this is a different approach to it and

592
00:28:01,866 --> 00:28:04,386
Speaker 1: you're just as unique and the results are there.

593
00:28:04,746 --> 00:28:07,866
Speaker 2: Well at first you're like, what the hell is all

594
00:28:08,986 --> 00:28:09,226
Speaker 2: you know?

595
00:28:09,946 --> 00:28:12,826
Speaker 1: And can give us an example because like Chip Kelly

596
00:28:12,866 --> 00:28:14,346
Speaker 1: came in and did the spread offense and everyone was

597
00:28:14,346 --> 00:28:15,426
Speaker 1: like that don't never work in the NFL, And it

598
00:28:15,426 --> 00:28:17,226
Speaker 1: did for a little bit. But like on the set

599
00:28:17,626 --> 00:28:19,506
Speaker 1: or in a movie or a show, what would be

600
00:28:19,546 --> 00:28:22,226
Speaker 1: something unique to the million other directors who you've worked with.

601
00:28:22,426 --> 00:28:24,706
Speaker 4: Well, the way I experienced that, Peter was I got

602
00:28:24,746 --> 00:28:27,386
Speaker 4: there and you you you know, you get the schedule.

603
00:28:27,426 --> 00:28:29,666
Speaker 4: We got three sheet scenes we're going to shoot today,

604
00:28:30,106 --> 00:28:33,986
Speaker 4: and you prepare them. Yeah, be like knowing the playbook. Okay,

605
00:28:34,626 --> 00:28:36,906
Speaker 4: so you get there and first thing that somebody we're

606
00:28:36,946 --> 00:28:41,946
Speaker 4: not doing those today, Like okay, any reason, we don't know,

607
00:28:42,266 --> 00:28:47,106
Speaker 4: Welcome to the idol, Like all right, well what are

608
00:28:47,146 --> 00:28:50,866
Speaker 4: we doing? They're doing these three scenes and the explanation

609
00:28:50,906 --> 00:28:53,266
Speaker 4: in that day seemed to be that Sam was shooting

610
00:28:53,266 --> 00:28:57,026
Speaker 4: on film, which is different than shooting digitally, and the

611
00:28:57,146 --> 00:28:59,266
Speaker 4: light had changed in a way. That and we're shooting

612
00:28:59,306 --> 00:29:01,826
Speaker 4: this big glass house which happened to be the Weekend's

613
00:29:01,866 --> 00:29:04,266
Speaker 4: reel house, but in the movie we were shooting it

614
00:29:04,306 --> 00:29:08,186
Speaker 4: as if it was Joscelyn's house, so the light changed.

615
00:29:08,186 --> 00:29:09,826
Speaker 4: He even wants to make sure those scenes are shot

616
00:29:09,826 --> 00:29:11,146
Speaker 4: in a certain type of lights, so we're going to

617
00:29:11,186 --> 00:29:12,306
Speaker 4: switch to these other scenes.

618
00:29:12,546 --> 00:29:16,506
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a very filmic reason. Yeah, all right, So

619
00:29:16,586 --> 00:29:19,986
Speaker 2: I learned those three scenes over the next two hours, and.

620
00:29:19,946 --> 00:29:23,106
Speaker 4: Then they change it again. Oh, like, no, we're not

621
00:29:23,146 --> 00:29:25,866
Speaker 4: going to do those today. And it turned out that

622
00:29:26,066 --> 00:29:30,666
Speaker 4: based on how the morning's work had went, they decided

623
00:29:30,706 --> 00:29:33,826
Speaker 4: they needed another scene where they were already shooting.

624
00:29:34,026 --> 00:29:36,106
Speaker 2: So they decided to go stay there.

625
00:29:37,466 --> 00:29:42,386
Speaker 4: All this is very on the run, and you know,

626
00:29:43,586 --> 00:29:46,306
Speaker 4: here's the equivalent. It'd be like a really great in

627
00:29:46,506 --> 00:29:48,066
Speaker 4: game coach making adjustments.

628
00:29:48,466 --> 00:29:49,706
Speaker 1: This is what I see and is what we need

629
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:51,266
Speaker 1: for the better of the team right now. Yeah that

630
00:29:51,426 --> 00:29:53,866
Speaker 1: we prepared all week, we did our game plan, but

631
00:29:54,026 --> 00:29:55,626
Speaker 1: in this moment, this is the adjustment.

632
00:29:55,706 --> 00:29:57,306
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this is what we're doing today because this

633
00:29:57,386 --> 00:29:58,506
Speaker 4: is what it feels like it needs.

634
00:29:58,946 --> 00:30:00,906
Speaker 2: And I think I actually called the first ad.

635
00:30:00,906 --> 00:30:02,786
Speaker 4: The poor guy who was in charge of raging, so

636
00:30:02,866 --> 00:30:05,106
Speaker 4: I think I actually called him a young man.

637
00:30:04,986 --> 00:30:10,186
Speaker 2: Or young man, what is this? What are we doing

638
00:30:10,186 --> 00:30:10,786
Speaker 2: here today?

639
00:30:11,906 --> 00:30:15,906
Speaker 4: And he's like, yeah, no, often there's audibles that are called.

640
00:30:16,706 --> 00:30:19,786
Speaker 4: And so after about two days of this, I said, Okay,

641
00:30:19,786 --> 00:30:22,226
Speaker 4: do me a favor. Just give me the ten or

642
00:30:22,226 --> 00:30:25,626
Speaker 4: twelve scenes that are in play all right, that you

643
00:30:25,666 --> 00:30:27,626
Speaker 4: think we will do, because I'm sure you can limit

644
00:30:27,666 --> 00:30:30,346
Speaker 4: it loss I could prepare, yeah, exactly, so at least

645
00:30:30,346 --> 00:30:33,106
Speaker 4: in others a playbook like I'll stick. I'll have a

646
00:30:33,146 --> 00:30:35,706
Speaker 4: wide playbook and then you guys tell me what we're

647
00:30:35,746 --> 00:30:38,786
Speaker 4: doing and I'll be able to adjust, no problem. And

648
00:30:38,826 --> 00:30:42,306
Speaker 4: then not only that, but so he would kind of

649
00:30:42,346 --> 00:30:44,466
Speaker 4: go with the creative hot hand, if.

650
00:30:44,346 --> 00:30:45,426
Speaker 2: You will love this.

651
00:30:46,146 --> 00:30:49,026
Speaker 4: Not only that, but then once we started the scene,

652
00:30:49,986 --> 00:30:52,266
Speaker 4: he would start changing it based on what we were doing,

653
00:30:52,306 --> 00:30:54,226
Speaker 4: how things were working. We would he goes, do my favorite,

654
00:30:54,266 --> 00:30:56,506
Speaker 4: just improvise the scene, forget about the dialogue, and we

655
00:30:56,506 --> 00:30:58,826
Speaker 4: would do that, or we would do the scene and

656
00:30:58,826 --> 00:31:01,426
Speaker 4: then we'd improvide the next ten minutes what might follow

657
00:31:01,546 --> 00:31:04,306
Speaker 4: the scene. So he started combining a sort of more

658
00:31:04,386 --> 00:31:07,986
Speaker 4: jud Appatow, you know, Larry David approach.

659
00:31:08,306 --> 00:31:10,626
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, it's going to bring up

660
00:31:10,666 --> 00:31:13,586
Speaker 1: curb where they say, here's the here's what happens, but

661
00:31:13,666 --> 00:31:16,386
Speaker 1: the dialogue, go ahead and just let it rip, right?

662
00:31:16,506 --> 00:31:17,666
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that how this was?

663
00:31:18,346 --> 00:31:21,066
Speaker 4: But it was it was more like a legendary filmmaker

664
00:31:21,186 --> 00:31:23,266
Speaker 4: Robert Altman, and that it wasn't so much to try

665
00:31:23,266 --> 00:31:25,786
Speaker 4: to be funny sometimes it won't, but it was more

666
00:31:25,826 --> 00:31:28,186
Speaker 4: to try to get more emotionally real, like a filmmaker

667
00:31:28,226 --> 00:31:31,066
Speaker 4: named Mike Lee works. This way took where you know,

668
00:31:31,666 --> 00:31:34,906
Speaker 4: you get to the more raw emotion of certain things

669
00:31:34,986 --> 00:31:36,626
Speaker 4: if you just kind of let it fly and don't

670
00:31:36,666 --> 00:31:39,666
Speaker 4: let words constrain you. And a lot of it wasn't

671
00:31:40,186 --> 00:31:43,746
Speaker 4: h He had a ton of materials, so they had

672
00:31:43,746 --> 00:31:45,706
Speaker 4: to edit a lot.

673
00:31:45,266 --> 00:31:45,826
Speaker 2: In the end.

674
00:31:45,866 --> 00:31:49,626
Speaker 4: But I'd say half the performance of my own half,

675
00:31:49,666 --> 00:31:51,826
Speaker 4: a scripted half, was the stuff we came up with

676
00:31:52,146 --> 00:31:53,586
Speaker 4: in the moment or on the day.

677
00:31:53,666 --> 00:31:57,466
Speaker 1: You know the Apatow reference. Now he says, we'll do

678
00:31:57,546 --> 00:31:59,786
Speaker 1: fifty takes this. We don't know what the final version is.

679
00:31:59,826 --> 00:32:02,586
Speaker 1: Going to be and then whatever felt right for Judd

680
00:32:02,626 --> 00:32:04,506
Speaker 1: in the edit is what ends up in the final.

681
00:32:05,066 --> 00:32:06,826
Speaker 1: Would you guys be doing like twenty ten of this

682
00:32:06,906 --> 00:32:09,186
Speaker 1: or would be like Clint Eastwood one take or Woody

683
00:32:09,186 --> 00:32:10,866
Speaker 1: Allen one take. That's good, let's move.

684
00:32:10,906 --> 00:32:13,066
Speaker 4: More more like it was neither, because that's also the

685
00:32:13,066 --> 00:32:16,826
Speaker 4: twenty takes starts to crush your soul so much. One

686
00:32:16,866 --> 00:32:19,146
Speaker 4: take is not enough. It was more like just extended,

687
00:32:19,346 --> 00:32:21,186
Speaker 4: like Judtle, let the camera run. I have a work

688
00:32:21,186 --> 00:32:23,026
Speaker 4: which I love to I did a movie that he

689
00:32:23,106 --> 00:32:25,586
Speaker 4: produced that was short of Sun in a fimilar way,

690
00:32:25,626 --> 00:32:30,746
Speaker 4: but it was more like extended. We never really heard cut.

691
00:32:30,866 --> 00:32:33,706
Speaker 4: We just would kind of keep going and then sometimes

692
00:32:33,746 --> 00:32:35,946
Speaker 4: you know, it was like a true good coach like

693
00:32:37,026 --> 00:32:40,106
Speaker 4: Lily and I. A lot of our scenes were exactly

694
00:32:40,226 --> 00:32:42,506
Speaker 4: is written, you know what I mean. We just it

695
00:32:42,546 --> 00:32:45,146
Speaker 4: was written, well, it seemed to work. We got it

696
00:32:45,346 --> 00:32:46,146
Speaker 4: fast bang.

697
00:32:46,746 --> 00:32:46,946
Speaker 2: You know.

698
00:32:46,986 --> 00:32:48,866
Speaker 4: Some others seat there were a lot of actual music

699
00:32:48,906 --> 00:32:52,946
Speaker 4: industry people in this, so for them acting wasn't.

700
00:32:52,786 --> 00:32:54,826
Speaker 1: It's more accuracy and consulting.

701
00:32:55,026 --> 00:32:58,426
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So Sam would say, well, I don't worry

702
00:32:58,466 --> 00:33:00,866
Speaker 4: about the words, just say what you really say. There, cool,

703
00:33:01,066 --> 00:33:02,866
Speaker 4: I forget even about the script, just what would you

704
00:33:02,906 --> 00:33:06,866
Speaker 4: really do in this circumstance. And so the professional actors

705
00:33:06,946 --> 00:33:09,746
Speaker 4: on the set, not that they weren't pros, but you

706
00:33:09,746 --> 00:33:11,506
Speaker 4: know what I mean, the more experienced actors would have

707
00:33:11,506 --> 00:33:14,386
Speaker 4: to sort of roll with whatever they were doing. So

708
00:33:14,466 --> 00:33:17,146
Speaker 4: I loved it on that from that standpoint, not to

709
00:33:17,266 --> 00:33:22,826
Speaker 4: mention Peter, but then after a while, cumulatively another sports analogy, right,

710
00:33:22,906 --> 00:33:26,386
Speaker 4: So great coaches they take their actual player, they chuck

711
00:33:26,466 --> 00:33:28,706
Speaker 4: their game plan after a while and go with the

712
00:33:28,746 --> 00:33:31,906
Speaker 4: strengths of their players. And that's what Sam started doing

713
00:33:31,906 --> 00:33:34,666
Speaker 4: a lot too. It's like you seem I started playing

714
00:33:34,706 --> 00:33:37,066
Speaker 4: it a different way than he expected, so he started

715
00:33:37,106 --> 00:33:40,346
Speaker 4: writing to that that's changing things, you know, And he

716
00:33:40,386 --> 00:33:44,826
Speaker 4: did that for everybody's character, even the Weekend. I don't

717
00:33:44,826 --> 00:33:47,146
Speaker 4: want to give away too much, but yeah, the original

718
00:33:47,226 --> 00:33:50,306
Speaker 4: vision for the thing, it turned into something else given

719
00:33:50,346 --> 00:33:54,266
Speaker 4: on how the Weekend was doing with it, and very profoundly,

720
00:33:54,626 --> 00:33:57,426
Speaker 4: you know. So it was really fun and creative. I

721
00:33:57,466 --> 00:34:00,226
Speaker 4: hadn't worked that way on a set that creative since

722
00:34:00,226 --> 00:34:04,386
Speaker 4: I worked with Mike Nichols, you know, on the p Yeah.

723
00:34:03,626 --> 00:34:06,746
Speaker 1: How's the reception been so far? And have you been

724
00:34:06,746 --> 00:34:08,986
Speaker 1: happy with what you've heard from people who've watched the

725
00:34:09,026 --> 00:34:09,786
Speaker 1: episode so far.

726
00:34:10,146 --> 00:34:13,066
Speaker 2: Well, we had a lot of negative press leading up.

727
00:34:13,026 --> 00:34:14,946
Speaker 1: Because because of this, because of what the way it

728
00:34:14,986 --> 00:34:16,826
Speaker 1: was made or what the topic.

729
00:34:17,266 --> 00:34:19,626
Speaker 4: Well there was there was an article Rolling Stone that

730
00:34:19,706 --> 00:34:23,386
Speaker 4: what I described accurately just now as the creative nature

731
00:34:23,386 --> 00:34:26,746
Speaker 4: of that set, you know, got called chaotic and dysfunctional.

732
00:34:26,746 --> 00:34:28,706
Speaker 4: And I made a point at the press conference and

733
00:34:28,786 --> 00:34:31,426
Speaker 4: ken of saying no, no, no, I've been on sets

734
00:34:31,426 --> 00:34:33,146
Speaker 4: that were chaotic and dysfunctional.

735
00:34:33,226 --> 00:34:34,866
Speaker 2: It wasn't that, been on bad teams.

736
00:34:34,986 --> 00:34:39,146
Speaker 4: Okay, this wasn't that, And it was the opposite of that,

737
00:34:40,306 --> 00:34:43,266
Speaker 4: this sexual you know, gratefully for everyone involved, I'm not.

738
00:34:43,626 --> 00:34:46,626
Speaker 4: I wasn't involved in the sexual shenanigans in the show.

739
00:34:47,026 --> 00:34:50,626
Speaker 4: That's for the young folks. So I can't really to

740
00:34:50,626 --> 00:34:52,626
Speaker 4: speak to it. I just know that Lily was very,

741
00:34:52,746 --> 00:34:55,346
Speaker 4: very comfortable with everything she had to do, felt very

742
00:34:55,346 --> 00:34:59,066
Speaker 4: collaborated with as I did on anything I was doing.

743
00:34:59,826 --> 00:35:02,866
Speaker 4: And Sam's work is very much that way. You know,

744
00:35:02,906 --> 00:35:06,666
Speaker 4: Euphoria really pushes it. So does this mean it might

745
00:35:06,666 --> 00:35:08,306
Speaker 4: not be everybody's cup of tea? I get that, but

746
00:35:08,306 --> 00:35:11,026
Speaker 4: I don't think you can deny the filmmaking and the

747
00:35:11,186 --> 00:35:14,586
Speaker 4: compelling story and the great characters and stuff.

748
00:35:14,746 --> 00:35:16,866
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Euphoria, which makes it sound like I'm

749
00:35:16,866 --> 00:35:19,386
Speaker 1: talking out of my you know what, but it's it's

750
00:35:19,426 --> 00:35:21,786
Speaker 1: the most streamed show I think HBO has ever had,

751
00:35:21,906 --> 00:35:24,186
Speaker 1: and it's also one of the rare shows that has,

752
00:35:24,386 --> 00:35:27,186
Speaker 1: you know, attracted the younger audience where they're not just

753
00:35:27,226 --> 00:35:29,626
Speaker 1: watching YouTube clips all day. They actually watched this show.

754
00:35:29,826 --> 00:35:33,186
Speaker 1: Love this show, And what might not be digestible for

755
00:35:33,346 --> 00:35:36,146
Speaker 1: a certain generation might be something that is actually being

756
00:35:36,146 --> 00:35:38,586
Speaker 1: craved and not satisfied in entertainment, And this is what

757
00:35:38,666 --> 00:35:40,906
Speaker 1: might be he be writing. You know, it's a different

758
00:35:40,946 --> 00:35:43,546
Speaker 1: audience necessarily than what the same audience has been watching

759
00:35:43,586 --> 00:35:44,666
Speaker 1: TV for sixty years.

760
00:35:44,786 --> 00:35:45,906
Speaker 2: That's exactly right here.

761
00:35:45,946 --> 00:35:48,186
Speaker 4: I've talked to Sam at length about this because I

762
00:35:48,226 --> 00:35:51,466
Speaker 4: got kind of morbidly fascinated with Euphoria after the fact,

763
00:35:51,986 --> 00:35:54,226
Speaker 4: and I watched it, and sure enough, especially the first

764
00:35:54,226 --> 00:35:58,466
Speaker 4: two episodes. As a parent, it's like, they're great, but

765
00:35:58,546 --> 00:36:00,466
Speaker 4: they're great the way watching a horror.

766
00:36:00,186 --> 00:36:00,706
Speaker 2: Movie is great.

767
00:36:00,746 --> 00:36:04,466
Speaker 4: You're like, oh my god, what am I seeing? It's

768
00:36:04,586 --> 00:36:08,586
Speaker 4: terrifying but very compelling, and then it settles in. It's

769
00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:11,946
Speaker 4: just really good storytelling and filmmaking, and it's very good.

770
00:36:11,986 --> 00:36:14,186
Speaker 4: And then I'm like, well, what am I really going

771
00:36:14,226 --> 00:36:17,106
Speaker 4: to care about? Ostensibly a teen drama, you know, those

772
00:36:17,186 --> 00:36:20,066
Speaker 4: days are way gone for me, but they totally translated.

773
00:36:20,146 --> 00:36:23,826
Speaker 4: The characters are so good. The story of Zendaiah's journey

774
00:36:23,826 --> 00:36:26,386
Speaker 4: into sobriety is the most realistic depiction of that I've

775
00:36:26,386 --> 00:36:30,866
Speaker 4: ever seen. It's amazing. It's just gripping. And you know,

776
00:36:30,946 --> 00:36:36,026
Speaker 4: Sam said, he purposely he's young. He's not a teenager,

777
00:36:36,066 --> 00:36:38,746
Speaker 4: but he's a young guy himself. He was hyper aware

778
00:36:38,826 --> 00:36:41,426
Speaker 4: that his audience, as you just said, as you see

779
00:36:41,946 --> 00:36:44,266
Speaker 4: a YouTube clip is like a feature.

780
00:36:43,906 --> 00:36:44,906
Speaker 1: Film to that's all.

781
00:36:45,186 --> 00:36:47,346
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he was like, I can't.

782
00:36:47,866 --> 00:36:50,946
Speaker 4: He purposely designed it so as not to let young

783
00:36:50,986 --> 00:36:55,706
Speaker 4: attention spans waiver, things like no establishing shots. Kids shut

784
00:36:55,786 --> 00:36:58,826
Speaker 4: down and start looking at their phone if you show an.

785
00:36:58,746 --> 00:37:00,586
Speaker 2: Establishing shot, it's interesting.

786
00:37:00,626 --> 00:37:04,506
Speaker 4: He was hyper aware of as few cuts as possible

787
00:37:05,186 --> 00:37:10,106
Speaker 4: and as not letting the attention span go away, and

788
00:37:10,226 --> 00:37:14,066
Speaker 4: he designed it that way and it apparently worked.

789
00:37:18,986 --> 00:37:20,906
Speaker 1: You've been in so many great films, so many shows,

790
00:37:21,306 --> 00:37:23,946
Speaker 1: and yet I think everyone has a different entry point

791
00:37:23,946 --> 00:37:26,146
Speaker 1: for Hankaus area. So I ask you, you know, we

792
00:37:26,186 --> 00:37:28,426
Speaker 1: live in New York where it's not everyone stopping you

793
00:37:28,466 --> 00:37:29,986
Speaker 1: on the street every two seconds. But when you do

794
00:37:30,026 --> 00:37:33,866
Speaker 1: get stopped, is it a Simpson's voice? Is it friends?

795
00:37:34,226 --> 00:37:37,306
Speaker 1: Is it birdcage? Is it another felt?

796
00:37:37,306 --> 00:37:37,386
Speaker 3: Like?

797
00:37:37,426 --> 00:37:38,986
Speaker 1: What do you feel like? Is the thing that you're

798
00:37:38,986 --> 00:37:41,586
Speaker 1: getting the most these days? As far as a Brockmeyer like,

799
00:37:41,746 --> 00:37:43,546
Speaker 1: what is it that people are stopping you and saying, hey,

800
00:37:43,666 --> 00:37:45,506
Speaker 1: love your work in X something?

801
00:37:45,546 --> 00:37:46,666
Speaker 2: It depends on where I am.

802
00:37:46,786 --> 00:37:50,066
Speaker 4: I can sort of tell by the demographic of the

803
00:37:50,106 --> 00:37:54,306
Speaker 4: person what they're likely to. If I'm at the Mets game,

804
00:37:54,346 --> 00:37:57,986
Speaker 4: I'm gonna hear a lot of brockmrk. You know, most

805
00:37:58,026 --> 00:38:02,786
Speaker 4: of all it's bird cage. Okay, Young folks are very

806
00:38:02,826 --> 00:38:03,786
Speaker 4: friends obsessed.

807
00:38:05,186 --> 00:38:07,506
Speaker 1: You're not interesting. It's how this second life of like

808
00:38:08,146 --> 00:38:09,426
Speaker 1: a number one show.

809
00:38:09,746 --> 00:38:13,506
Speaker 4: You're right, every eleven year old discovers friends, you know,

810
00:38:14,346 --> 00:38:16,666
Speaker 4: since the show's been on, So I get a lot

811
00:38:16,666 --> 00:38:21,026
Speaker 4: of that, And a lot of folks from foreign countries

812
00:38:21,026 --> 00:38:21,746
Speaker 4: are friends.

813
00:38:21,506 --> 00:38:22,306
Speaker 2: Obsessed as well.

814
00:38:22,906 --> 00:38:23,386
Speaker 1: Interesting.

815
00:38:23,746 --> 00:38:25,346
Speaker 4: But I get, you know, i'd say probably the most

816
00:38:25,346 --> 00:38:27,466
Speaker 4: of Burke And then I've been around so long now

817
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:30,306
Speaker 4: that I really never know, I get weird, like really

818
00:38:30,346 --> 00:38:31,546
Speaker 4: you like Herman's head.

819
00:38:31,706 --> 00:38:33,426
Speaker 1: Okay, let Herbert said Fox.

820
00:38:33,666 --> 00:38:36,826
Speaker 4: Let's go early days of Fox. You know, so I

821
00:38:36,866 --> 00:38:39,426
Speaker 4: never totally know you. Know what I get more than

822
00:38:39,426 --> 00:38:41,866
Speaker 4: anything else, Peter is people know me, but they don't

823
00:38:41,906 --> 00:38:42,986
Speaker 4: know from where. Oh?

824
00:38:43,066 --> 00:38:44,906
Speaker 1: Is that the worst though? Why do I know you?

825
00:38:45,586 --> 00:38:47,146
Speaker 1: Is that the worst question? In an airport? I get

826
00:38:47,186 --> 00:38:48,986
Speaker 1: people coming. Why do I know you?

827
00:38:49,146 --> 00:38:51,106
Speaker 2: I have very good pat answers for it.

828
00:38:51,226 --> 00:38:51,866
Speaker 1: What do you say?

829
00:38:52,826 --> 00:38:54,546
Speaker 2: I get a lot of you. I know you're an actor.

830
00:38:54,586 --> 00:38:59,346
Speaker 4: I don't know your name, so I think, well, I'm

831
00:38:59,386 --> 00:39:00,106
Speaker 4: George Clooney.

832
00:39:00,146 --> 00:39:01,826
Speaker 2: I just look really ugly in person.

833
00:39:05,866 --> 00:39:07,986
Speaker 1: I was reading you know, I do my research before

834
00:39:08,226 --> 00:39:10,426
Speaker 1: any of these things. But I'm fascinated with like your

835
00:39:10,466 --> 00:39:12,706
Speaker 1: career because it's got such a depth in so many

836
00:39:12,706 --> 00:39:17,666
Speaker 1: different roles. Before Simpsons, I mean, there was was it Hollywood?

837
00:39:17,706 --> 00:39:17,946
Speaker 5: Dog?

838
00:39:18,146 --> 00:39:19,466
Speaker 1: Was the show? What was the show?

839
00:39:19,786 --> 00:39:20,466
Speaker 2: You are good?

840
00:39:21,066 --> 00:39:23,146
Speaker 1: Tell me, tell me what your entry points to the

841
00:39:23,186 --> 00:39:25,386
Speaker 1: Simpsons was? And whatever happened to that show?

842
00:39:25,586 --> 00:39:27,466
Speaker 2: Well that never even made it to air?

843
00:39:27,946 --> 00:39:28,746
Speaker 1: So what was it?

844
00:39:29,106 --> 00:39:30,106
Speaker 2: Early days of Fox?

845
00:39:30,146 --> 00:39:33,746
Speaker 4: As you said, remember the show the movie Who Framed

846
00:39:33,826 --> 00:39:34,506
Speaker 4: Roger Rabbit?

847
00:39:34,626 --> 00:39:37,146
Speaker 1: Yes, Bob Hoskins.

848
00:39:36,306 --> 00:39:42,346
Speaker 4: Bob Hoskins and Zamacus so animated rabbit live action people

849
00:39:43,346 --> 00:39:46,826
Speaker 4: that got popular. Fox decided to try one of those.

850
00:39:47,466 --> 00:39:50,226
Speaker 4: They did a pilot of a show called Hollywood Dog,

851
00:39:50,306 --> 00:39:53,386
Speaker 4: based on a comic strip this Popper at the time.

852
00:39:53,226 --> 00:39:54,746
Speaker 1: It was called Hollywood Dog and it would be like

853
00:39:54,826 --> 00:39:55,746
Speaker 1: in your Sunday paper.

854
00:39:55,946 --> 00:40:01,106
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess I did the voice of the dog White.

855
00:40:01,186 --> 00:40:04,226
Speaker 2: They talk like this, Hey doing this Hollywood Dog.

856
00:40:05,026 --> 00:40:06,426
Speaker 1: I love already Hollywood Dog.

857
00:40:07,146 --> 00:40:12,706
Speaker 4: And that back then, back in the old days, Peter,

858
00:40:13,386 --> 00:40:15,386
Speaker 4: they made every network, even.

859
00:40:15,226 --> 00:40:17,706
Speaker 2: Fox, made like one hundred.

860
00:40:17,386 --> 00:40:19,706
Speaker 1: Pilots and they picked pilot seasoned.

861
00:40:20,026 --> 00:40:22,146
Speaker 2: Yes, so everybody worked pilots.

862
00:40:22,186 --> 00:40:26,026
Speaker 4: Everyone loved pilot season because almost every actor worked, but

863
00:40:26,106 --> 00:40:28,346
Speaker 4: only ten or fifteen of them made it to air

864
00:40:28,426 --> 00:40:32,666
Speaker 4: out of like fifty to eighty they made. Hollywood Dog

865
00:40:32,746 --> 00:40:34,946
Speaker 4: was one of them. So not long after that, I

866
00:40:34,946 --> 00:40:37,906
Speaker 4: got a call from head of casting The Simpsons, a

867
00:40:37,906 --> 00:40:39,986
Speaker 4: woman named Bonnie Pietila, who worked on the show for

868
00:40:40,066 --> 00:40:44,986
Speaker 4: years but has stopped and knew me from that just

869
00:40:45,026 --> 00:40:48,146
Speaker 4: through Fox, and it was like almost an open calls,

870
00:40:48,186 --> 00:40:51,626
Speaker 4: an open call, but I didn't have a voiceover agent.

871
00:40:51,706 --> 00:40:53,826
Speaker 2: It just came through my regular agent.

872
00:40:54,146 --> 00:40:55,106
Speaker 1: Wow, And I.

873
00:40:55,066 --> 00:41:00,306
Speaker 4: Walked over one day to Fox and Sam Simon and MATC.

874
00:41:00,346 --> 00:41:04,346
Speaker 4: Graining were in the room and Sam has passed away since,

875
00:41:04,426 --> 00:41:07,866
Speaker 4: but he and Matt and Jim Brooks with the original creators.

876
00:41:08,906 --> 00:41:12,026
Speaker 4: And I was doing to play in Hollywood at the time.

877
00:41:12,346 --> 00:41:14,066
Speaker 4: I was playing a drug dealer in this play, and

878
00:41:14,106 --> 00:41:17,666
Speaker 4: I was doing an impression, a vocal impression of Pacino

879
00:41:17,706 --> 00:41:19,746
Speaker 4: from Dog Day Afternoon in that place.

880
00:41:20,426 --> 00:41:22,946
Speaker 2: So I was sort of talking like this, that's sort

881
00:41:22,986 --> 00:41:24,546
Speaker 2: of an early Alpatuna.

882
00:41:24,906 --> 00:41:28,266
Speaker 4: I hear MO already, Well, yeah it, so I do that,

883
00:41:29,466 --> 00:41:31,546
Speaker 4: and they were like, well, we wanted to be gravelly,

884
00:41:32,546 --> 00:41:35,546
Speaker 4: so you take young al Pacino and you make it

885
00:41:35,626 --> 00:41:40,826
Speaker 4: gravity and you get motor bought. And they said, great,

886
00:41:40,986 --> 00:41:44,146
Speaker 4: can you come record this. I'm like, now, I never

887
00:41:44,186 --> 00:41:46,226
Speaker 4: had that appenue, Like you get the job in the

888
00:41:46,306 --> 00:41:46,986
Speaker 4: room and then.

889
00:41:46,906 --> 00:41:47,546
Speaker 2: You do it.

890
00:41:48,106 --> 00:41:51,146
Speaker 4: I realized now they probably they probably had like eight

891
00:41:51,226 --> 00:41:53,786
Speaker 4: guys do that that day, and then they just kept

892
00:41:53,786 --> 00:41:55,866
Speaker 4: the one they liked. So even when I thought I

893
00:41:55,906 --> 00:41:58,626
Speaker 4: had the job, I probably didn't. But I guess they

894
00:41:58,706 --> 00:42:00,306
Speaker 4: liked what I did. And then each week I'd come

895
00:42:00,386 --> 00:42:02,826
Speaker 4: back and do another voice or to had like wig

896
00:42:02,866 --> 00:42:04,706
Speaker 4: them the next week, and on and on.

897
00:42:05,506 --> 00:42:08,786
Speaker 2: And after about a year that they made me regular.

898
00:42:08,826 --> 00:42:10,746
Speaker 4: You know what I found out years later here, how

899
00:42:10,786 --> 00:42:12,186
Speaker 4: about this for craziness?

900
00:42:12,666 --> 00:42:14,106
Speaker 2: So apparently.

901
00:42:14,986 --> 00:42:17,586
Speaker 4: There was an original mode the bar They were replacement

902
00:42:17,666 --> 00:42:20,226
Speaker 4: casting at that point they had had a mod the bartender,

903
00:42:21,186 --> 00:42:23,946
Speaker 4: And then I was like, oh wow, really. And then

904
00:42:24,106 --> 00:42:26,466
Speaker 4: years after I found that out, I think Matt Groening

905
00:42:26,506 --> 00:42:29,906
Speaker 4: and I were doing some like we were being judges

906
00:42:29,946 --> 00:42:33,306
Speaker 4: on some Food Network food show, right.

907
00:42:33,266 --> 00:42:36,586
Speaker 1: Okay, chopped one of these things and one of those.

908
00:42:36,786 --> 00:42:40,226
Speaker 4: Not it wasn't chopped, but it was. I said, you know, Matt,

909
00:42:40,666 --> 00:42:45,666
Speaker 4: why did you fire that? What didn't you like about

910
00:42:45,986 --> 00:42:49,546
Speaker 4: the voice work of that original Mo? And he said, oh,

911
00:42:49,586 --> 00:42:51,666
Speaker 4: we thought he was great. We liked him a lot.

912
00:42:52,106 --> 00:42:54,746
Speaker 4: So well, then what did you fire him for?

913
00:42:55,826 --> 00:42:57,906
Speaker 2: He said? The guy was just kind of a jerk.

914
00:42:58,986 --> 00:43:00,346
Speaker 1: Just what a lesson? Right?

915
00:43:00,506 --> 00:43:03,546
Speaker 2: Oh my god? So the guy, the poor guy, he's

916
00:43:03,706 --> 00:43:04,506
Speaker 2: since passed away.

917
00:43:04,546 --> 00:43:06,346
Speaker 1: I think, can you imagine the rest of his life?

918
00:43:06,546 --> 00:43:07,066
Speaker 2: Well, that's to me.

919
00:43:07,266 --> 00:43:09,706
Speaker 4: The guy was like the peak best of the Simpsons,

920
00:43:09,786 --> 00:43:11,626
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And it's like, dude, don't

921
00:43:12,306 --> 00:43:15,826
Speaker 4: that's terrior. I felt really bad, actually yeah, And.

922
00:43:15,786 --> 00:43:17,826
Speaker 1: He was probably in his twenties, young guy like you

923
00:43:17,866 --> 00:43:19,986
Speaker 1: know and live with that the rest of his life.

924
00:43:20,026 --> 00:43:20,786
Speaker 1: That's heartbreaking.

925
00:43:20,946 --> 00:43:25,786
Speaker 4: He was a really established voiceover guy and Jim Brooks

926
00:43:25,786 --> 00:43:28,546
Speaker 4: talk about takes in the early days of The Simpsons

927
00:43:28,586 --> 00:43:31,186
Speaker 4: and Jim Brooks of everything he does, he.

928
00:43:31,186 --> 00:43:32,346
Speaker 2: Likes to do take after take.

929
00:43:32,426 --> 00:43:35,226
Speaker 4: He really tried to get it right and I think

930
00:43:35,266 --> 00:43:37,586
Speaker 4: the guy didn't like it and sort of snapped at

931
00:43:37,626 --> 00:43:38,746
Speaker 4: them all one day.

932
00:43:39,066 --> 00:43:40,506
Speaker 1: When I was a kid. And I'm not trying to

933
00:43:40,586 --> 00:43:42,546
Speaker 1: date you, obviously, you know Simpsons been going on for

934
00:43:43,546 --> 00:43:46,106
Speaker 1: five not even years old, but it's just Simpsons. I'm

935
00:43:46,146 --> 00:43:47,626
Speaker 1: certainly not dating you. If I say I grew up

936
00:43:47,626 --> 00:43:50,386
Speaker 1: watching the Simpsons. I think everyone grew up watching the Simpsons.

937
00:43:50,666 --> 00:43:53,386
Speaker 1: But I remember like being a craze, like I mean,

938
00:43:53,426 --> 00:43:55,346
Speaker 1: I know now you could say, oh well, no, this

939
00:43:55,426 --> 00:43:57,746
Speaker 1: is bigger now or American Idol was a bigger craze

940
00:43:57,746 --> 00:43:59,666
Speaker 1: in the two thousand, but like every kid had the

941
00:43:59,706 --> 00:44:01,426
Speaker 1: T shirt, I wasn't allowed to wear the T shirt

942
00:44:01,426 --> 00:44:03,866
Speaker 1: in school. It was banned to have Bart Simpsons in school.

943
00:44:03,906 --> 00:44:05,626
Speaker 2: Can you believe at the time when Bart Simpson was

944
00:44:05,666 --> 00:44:06,426
Speaker 2: considered edge?

945
00:44:06,546 --> 00:44:08,986
Speaker 1: You think about that now because it's you know why,

946
00:44:09,026 --> 00:44:12,226
Speaker 1: because I said, eat my shorts me you can't can't

947
00:44:12,226 --> 00:44:16,426
Speaker 1: have it, you know, cawipunk, you can't have it? Did

948
00:44:16,466 --> 00:44:18,986
Speaker 1: you guys feel it like it was the biggest? It

949
00:44:19,026 --> 00:44:20,706
Speaker 1: was on the cover I think Bart Simson's on the

950
00:44:20,746 --> 00:44:22,626
Speaker 1: cover of Time in Newsweek at the same time, like

951
00:44:22,706 --> 00:44:25,866
Speaker 1: a Springsteen like celebrity. But like, did you feel that

952
00:44:25,906 --> 00:44:28,066
Speaker 1: when you were recording those first episodes that this thing

953
00:44:28,106 --> 00:44:30,906
Speaker 1: could be what it forget what it's become. But that

954
00:44:30,946 --> 00:44:32,466
Speaker 1: first year, what a sensation it was?

955
00:44:33,026 --> 00:44:37,706
Speaker 4: Yes, and no knowing that Fox itself was two years old.

956
00:44:38,466 --> 00:44:43,386
Speaker 1: What was it? Mara Children, you guys, Horman's head, Tracy Almond,

957
00:44:43,946 --> 00:44:45,066
Speaker 1: and a few other things.

958
00:44:45,306 --> 00:44:48,106
Speaker 2: Cops Cops for sure, Cops.

959
00:44:47,826 --> 00:44:51,986
Speaker 4: Was a huge hit for them, and that was the first,

960
00:44:52,106 --> 00:44:55,106
Speaker 4: you know, new network. It was ABC, CBS, at NBC

961
00:44:55,226 --> 00:44:59,346
Speaker 4: and PBS and whatever couple of local channels you had,

962
00:44:59,386 --> 00:45:04,026
Speaker 4: and that was it. Children, that was it, and so

963
00:45:04,146 --> 00:45:06,546
Speaker 4: a new network. You were like, you kidding that it's

964
00:45:06,586 --> 00:45:09,226
Speaker 4: not going to last. So you didn't even know if

965
00:45:09,226 --> 00:45:12,146
Speaker 4: the network was going to survive, let alone an animated

966
00:45:12,546 --> 00:45:16,626
Speaker 4: primetime show on the network. I mean that said James L.

967
00:45:16,666 --> 00:45:19,986
Speaker 4: Brooks at that point was a legend, a legend deservedly

968
00:45:20,106 --> 00:45:24,426
Speaker 4: so I mean, the guy was arguably the greatest. I mean,

969
00:45:24,946 --> 00:45:27,866
Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody before or since it's at

970
00:45:27,906 --> 00:45:30,026
Speaker 4: that kind of success in TV and film at the

971
00:45:30,026 --> 00:45:32,346
Speaker 4: same time, you know, winning Emmys and Oscars at the

972
00:45:32,346 --> 00:45:35,426
Speaker 4: same time, and doing it himself like the real deal,

973
00:45:35,506 --> 00:45:36,346
Speaker 4: writing it all and.

974
00:45:38,186 --> 00:45:38,986
Speaker 2: Creating it all.

975
00:45:39,066 --> 00:45:42,746
Speaker 4: And so the fact that Jim Brooks was standing there,

976
00:45:43,746 --> 00:45:45,546
Speaker 4: to my twenty two year old self, it is how

977
00:45:45,546 --> 00:45:46,706
Speaker 4: old what I started doing.

978
00:45:46,546 --> 00:45:47,466
Speaker 1: Is twenty two? Really?

979
00:45:47,546 --> 00:45:52,266
Speaker 4: Yeah, my first of us was impressive, and you know,

980
00:45:52,346 --> 00:45:54,506
Speaker 4: back then, I take it for granted. Now now again,

981
00:45:54,946 --> 00:45:57,466
Speaker 4: I don't you know, my finger is hardly on the

982
00:45:57,466 --> 00:46:00,546
Speaker 4: pulse beat of pop culture and comedy anymore. But then

983
00:46:00,586 --> 00:46:03,506
Speaker 4: it was without my even realizing it. There was less

984
00:46:03,506 --> 00:46:08,146
Speaker 4: to track back then. But I had a strong sense,

985
00:46:08,266 --> 00:46:13,746
Speaker 4: just from a youthful comedic standpoint, that this thing was

986
00:46:13,826 --> 00:46:14,586
Speaker 4: pretty special.

987
00:46:14,626 --> 00:46:17,466
Speaker 2: And then I remember it was an LA Film.

988
00:46:17,226 --> 00:46:20,346
Speaker 4: Festival and they showed the shorts of The Simpsons in it,

989
00:46:20,746 --> 00:46:23,946
Speaker 4: and the audience went crazy, really crazy.

990
00:46:23,986 --> 00:46:25,826
Speaker 1: Before even they were in the Tracy Almonds show. They

991
00:46:25,826 --> 00:46:26,866
Speaker 1: were showing them at this festival.

992
00:46:26,906 --> 00:46:29,626
Speaker 4: They were cold from the Tracy alemend shows. Before we

993
00:46:29,706 --> 00:46:31,026
Speaker 4: premiered as a half hour.

994
00:46:30,906 --> 00:46:33,106
Speaker 1: Show and the audience went nuts.

995
00:46:33,426 --> 00:46:37,586
Speaker 4: Yeah, my peers, my, it just struck a chord with

996
00:46:37,666 --> 00:46:38,586
Speaker 4: us youngsters.

997
00:46:38,666 --> 00:46:40,466
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly why.

998
00:46:40,666 --> 00:46:42,306
Speaker 1: I mean, my friend, I mean, we were in I

999
00:46:42,306 --> 00:46:44,866
Speaker 1: guess middle school. We would I mean, and then they

1000
00:46:44,866 --> 00:46:48,066
Speaker 1: would air in syndication. We would memorize lines. You could

1001
00:46:48,066 --> 00:46:50,306
Speaker 1: put on a Simpsons episode. For the first ten seasons,

1002
00:46:50,346 --> 00:46:52,466
Speaker 1: I could tell you every line of every episode, and

1003
00:46:52,506 --> 00:46:53,586
Speaker 1: that was kind of the norm.

1004
00:46:53,746 --> 00:46:57,666
Speaker 4: That's what we did, you know, Yes, and I had equivalent.

1005
00:46:58,746 --> 00:47:00,666
Speaker 4: You know, I grew up worshiping Bugs, Bunny and all

1006
00:47:00,706 --> 00:47:04,106
Speaker 4: the Warner Brothers cartoons, and then you know, there were

1007
00:47:04,146 --> 00:47:08,106
Speaker 4: certain shows that meant everything to me. You know, I

1008
00:47:08,106 --> 00:47:11,466
Speaker 4: was like Happy Days and yeah, all in the Family

1009
00:47:11,666 --> 00:47:13,946
Speaker 4: early Days, that Jim but you know, Mary Tyler Moore

1010
00:47:14,186 --> 00:47:16,786
Speaker 4: and even to my early twenty like I grew up

1011
00:47:16,826 --> 00:47:20,746
Speaker 4: as a teen on family Ties. So I know, I

1012
00:47:20,786 --> 00:47:22,666
Speaker 4: do know well what it's like to have a show

1013
00:47:22,746 --> 00:47:26,666
Speaker 4: mean a lot. And I'm thrilled that, you know, both

1014
00:47:26,666 --> 00:47:30,226
Speaker 4: from an animation standpoint and just an iconic standpoint, that

1015
00:47:30,826 --> 00:47:32,746
Speaker 4: to pass, to be able to be a part of

1016
00:47:32,826 --> 00:47:34,906
Speaker 4: passing that traditional law awesome.

1017
00:47:34,946 --> 00:47:37,506
Speaker 1: We're going to wrap it here as we record on

1018
00:47:37,586 --> 00:47:40,586
Speaker 1: this June day, If I ask you in six months,

1019
00:47:41,186 --> 00:47:43,586
Speaker 1: what's the ideal situation for your New York Jets as

1020
00:47:43,626 --> 00:47:46,146
Speaker 1: we close, paint the picture for me here it's a

1021
00:47:46,186 --> 00:47:48,466
Speaker 1: winter day, you got your fourteen year old son. Are

1022
00:47:48,466 --> 00:47:51,306
Speaker 1: we headed towards a playoff game? Or what? What are

1023
00:47:51,306 --> 00:47:51,786
Speaker 1: we thinking?

1024
00:47:51,866 --> 00:47:51,946
Speaker 2: Is?

1025
00:47:51,986 --> 00:47:54,066
Speaker 1: Actually, you know what would you be happy with if

1026
00:47:54,066 --> 00:47:55,306
Speaker 1: you could sign up for it right now?

1027
00:47:55,786 --> 00:47:59,546
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the ceiling is an obvious answer, but

1028
00:47:59,626 --> 00:48:03,146
Speaker 4: I mean I saw the Interesting World Today article today

1029
00:48:03,186 --> 00:48:07,426
Speaker 4: Peter that the projections are like all over the board, all.

1030
00:48:07,186 --> 00:48:11,626
Speaker 1: Over the sportsbooks, have no consistency and like everywhere from

1031
00:48:11,706 --> 00:48:13,706
Speaker 1: eight wins to fourteen wins.

1032
00:48:13,826 --> 00:48:16,546
Speaker 2: I even see I saw a four win projection.

1033
00:48:18,066 --> 00:48:20,586
Speaker 4: They seem to be averaging out at like eight point

1034
00:48:20,746 --> 00:48:21,506
Speaker 4: six or something.

1035
00:48:21,586 --> 00:48:23,706
Speaker 1: Weird like about what they did last year? Was Zach

1036
00:48:23,746 --> 00:48:24,346
Speaker 1: Wilson and.

1037
00:48:24,386 --> 00:48:27,186
Speaker 2: Stribler, Yeah right that.

1038
00:48:27,906 --> 00:48:30,866
Speaker 4: I think I even heard you talking about how much

1039
00:48:30,906 --> 00:48:35,146
Speaker 4: a defense can fluctuate year to year. And their schedule

1040
00:48:35,186 --> 00:48:37,186
Speaker 4: is a lot harder this year it was last.

1041
00:48:37,306 --> 00:48:39,266
Speaker 1: AFC is loaded, But in a way you look.

1042
00:48:39,186 --> 00:48:41,586
Speaker 4: At it like they're going to have to beat those

1043
00:48:41,626 --> 00:48:43,586
Speaker 4: teams if they're gonna win.

1044
00:48:43,746 --> 00:48:49,386
Speaker 2: So let's let's find out. To me, honestly, like I'll.

1045
00:48:49,466 --> 00:48:53,146
Speaker 4: I answer this from a Brett Favre perspective, Okay, guy came,

1046
00:48:53,266 --> 00:48:55,266
Speaker 4: we were all excited in a similar.

1047
00:48:54,906 --> 00:48:56,586
Speaker 2: Fashion, he went eight and three.

1048
00:48:57,066 --> 00:49:01,866
Speaker 4: Yep, hurt his freaking shoulder, and they lost the rest

1049
00:49:01,866 --> 00:49:04,426
Speaker 4: of the games except for one, and they missed the playoffs.

1050
00:49:04,786 --> 00:49:07,746
Speaker 2: The next year, he took the freaking Vikings to the

1051
00:49:07,866 --> 00:49:09,546
Speaker 2: NF Championship.

1052
00:49:09,026 --> 00:49:10,946
Speaker 1: A couple plays away from the super Bowl.

1053
00:49:11,266 --> 00:49:14,706
Speaker 4: And because obviously he just wanted to do that, I mean,

1054
00:49:16,506 --> 00:49:18,146
Speaker 4: it's hard not to think about what if he just

1055
00:49:18,186 --> 00:49:22,226
Speaker 4: stayed a Jet for that second year. So to me, honestly,

1056
00:49:22,306 --> 00:49:26,546
Speaker 4: especially because I'm being Jets men's knicks, I'm so I

1057
00:49:26,586 --> 00:49:29,946
Speaker 4: have such PTSD that if the team just really plays

1058
00:49:29,986 --> 00:49:32,706
Speaker 4: well and his competitive, I think if they don't make

1059
00:49:32,706 --> 00:49:33,706
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

1060
00:49:33,306 --> 00:49:35,146
Speaker 2: I'll be genuinely disappointed disappointed.

1061
00:49:35,586 --> 00:49:41,026
Speaker 4: But if they're really competitive and make any version.

1062
00:49:40,666 --> 00:49:42,426
Speaker 2: Of a run, I'll be very very happy.

1063
00:49:42,466 --> 00:49:44,866
Speaker 4: And if it looks like Aaron would come back one

1064
00:49:44,866 --> 00:49:47,426
Speaker 4: more year and try it again, I'd be thrilled with that.

1065
00:49:47,866 --> 00:49:50,586
Speaker 2: But I don't, I don't dare hope beyond.

1066
00:49:52,546 --> 00:49:54,946
Speaker 1: I love it. You're your two season as a fan

1067
00:49:55,026 --> 00:49:57,586
Speaker 1: to to start, you know, planning a parade down Broadway

1068
00:49:57,666 --> 00:49:59,866
Speaker 1: and yeah, so many art.

1069
00:50:00,106 --> 00:50:00,946
Speaker 2: Well you imagine it.

1070
00:50:01,026 --> 00:50:04,146
Speaker 4: You can't mean the next beat when the next beat

1071
00:50:04,186 --> 00:50:07,706
Speaker 4: the Cavaliers. I just could not help him imagining, I know,

1072
00:50:08,106 --> 00:50:10,306
Speaker 4: a Knicks Lakers final, like.

1073
00:50:10,306 --> 00:50:13,746
Speaker 1: A nationally televised Eastern Conference final. I forget that. I

1074
00:50:13,786 --> 00:50:16,066
Speaker 1: was in the same bat, you know, obviously, and it's like, wow,

1075
00:50:16,066 --> 00:50:18,266
Speaker 1: what if we're hosting at the garden like the Eastern

1076
00:50:18,266 --> 00:50:20,786
Speaker 1: Conference final? Like what? Like it's insane.

1077
00:50:20,906 --> 00:50:22,546
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, I know.

1078
00:50:23,386 --> 00:50:26,626
Speaker 1: You're a good man. Thanks for going along here, appreciate it.

1079
00:50:26,706 --> 00:50:29,466
Speaker 1: You're in the idol on HBO. I've got this. I

1080
00:50:29,506 --> 00:50:31,426
Speaker 1: feel so ridiculous. I've got my home set up if

1081
00:50:31,466 --> 00:50:34,626
Speaker 1: you're listening on audio, and my one loan sports Emmy

1082
00:50:34,706 --> 00:50:36,706
Speaker 1: is behind me. I'm talking to Hank, who's probably got

1083
00:50:36,706 --> 00:50:38,186
Speaker 1: six hundred and he doesn't have any behind me.

1084
00:50:38,906 --> 00:50:41,946
Speaker 2: Came up here there.

1085
00:50:44,666 --> 00:50:48,426
Speaker 1: Bobbleheads and Emmy looks so good. I felt cycle like

1086
00:50:48,586 --> 00:50:50,466
Speaker 1: such a loser. I've got one.

1087
00:50:51,346 --> 00:50:54,146
Speaker 4: Like it's a nice it's a nice starter at me, Peter,

1088
00:50:54,226 --> 00:50:55,506
Speaker 4: it's a nice starter at me.

1089
00:50:55,986 --> 00:50:58,346
Speaker 1: We'll get there. Uh, Hank is area such a fan

1090
00:50:58,386 --> 00:51:00,186
Speaker 1: of yours from TV and also I also think you're

1091
00:51:00,186 --> 00:51:01,786
Speaker 1: the best guest on Eisen, you're the best guest on

1092
00:51:01,866 --> 00:51:04,066
Speaker 1: Dan Lebuttar, and I think you're a tremendous voice in

1093
00:51:04,106 --> 00:51:05,226
Speaker 1: the sports media world too.

1094
00:51:05,306 --> 00:51:10,026
Speaker 2: Jim Bradmeyer has you the checks he's been. I've been

1095
00:51:10,066 --> 00:51:11,106
Speaker 2: back the last couple of weeks.

1096
00:51:11,506 --> 00:51:14,386
Speaker 4: Okay, so not the normal podcast, but I do a

1097
00:51:14,466 --> 00:51:17,826
Speaker 4: segment of Dan pretty much every week, usually on Thursdays.

1098
00:51:17,866 --> 00:51:20,106
Speaker 1: So good. You're great with those guys, Henk, thanks so

1099
00:51:20,186 --> 00:51:23,186
Speaker 1: much for joining this podcast. Thanks Peter Aaron. How good

1100
00:51:23,266 --> 00:51:24,306
Speaker 1: was Hanka's area?

1101
00:51:24,626 --> 00:51:26,106
Speaker 3: Hearing him do the voices?

1102
00:51:26,266 --> 00:51:26,386
Speaker 4: Like?

1103
00:51:26,586 --> 00:51:31,306
Speaker 3: While we were it was.

1104
00:51:29,946 --> 00:51:31,586
Speaker 1: I didn't know how far to go with that. I

1105
00:51:31,666 --> 00:51:35,946
Speaker 1: was tempted to be like, all right, do Wigham do

1106
00:51:36,066 --> 00:51:39,506
Speaker 1: Gigham calling a play? Do Wigam commented, And then I'm like,

1107
00:51:39,546 --> 00:51:41,426
Speaker 1: all right, he's not a circus clown.

1108
00:51:41,626 --> 00:51:41,826
Speaker 2: You know.

1109
00:51:42,786 --> 00:51:44,666
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the idol. I kind of want to

1110
00:51:44,706 --> 00:51:46,546
Speaker 1: see it now. I haven't seen you for you though.

1111
00:51:46,586 --> 00:51:47,306
Speaker 1: Do you watch you for it?

1112
00:51:47,506 --> 00:51:51,106
Speaker 3: I don't you know. I maybe we should for some reason,

1113
00:51:51,186 --> 00:51:53,186
Speaker 3: I'm not up on all the HBO shows.

1114
00:51:53,226 --> 00:51:57,426
Speaker 1: Okay, everyone says it's incredibly uncomfortable and unsettling, but like

1115
00:51:57,506 --> 00:51:59,866
Speaker 1: awesome TV. I don't know if I need uncomfortable and

1116
00:51:59,946 --> 00:52:00,586
Speaker 1: unsettling him.

1117
00:52:00,706 --> 00:52:03,546
Speaker 3: I did love him talking about like it's catered to

1118
00:52:03,586 --> 00:52:06,666
Speaker 3: the younger audience, so there is no establishing shots there.

1119
00:52:06,706 --> 00:52:07,866
Speaker 1: Yeah, no theme song.

1120
00:52:08,266 --> 00:52:11,266
Speaker 3: It just go it keeps you in there. Yeah, So

1121
00:52:11,346 --> 00:52:15,906
Speaker 3: I think that's fascinating. I haven't seen it diehard.

1122
00:52:16,026 --> 00:52:19,546
Speaker 1: Jets Mets Knicks. That's a tortured trio right there.

1123
00:52:19,906 --> 00:52:22,426
Speaker 3: I mean, at least it's Knicks, not Nets, right, I mean,

1124
00:52:22,506 --> 00:52:25,186
Speaker 3: Jets Mets Nets would be harder. I mean that doesn't fit.

1125
00:52:25,386 --> 00:52:28,146
Speaker 1: I guess. You know, with Jets and Mets are typically

1126
00:52:28,146 --> 00:52:30,226
Speaker 1: if you're like not from New York, that's there's like

1127
00:52:30,266 --> 00:52:32,706
Speaker 1: a queen side of that where it's one was in

1128
00:52:33,626 --> 00:52:35,706
Speaker 1: They both played in Shay Stadium, and they both were

1129
00:52:35,706 --> 00:52:37,746
Speaker 1: like kind of created at the same time in the sixties.

1130
00:52:37,786 --> 00:52:41,386
Speaker 1: And if you weren't a traditional Giants and Yankees fan

1131
00:52:41,426 --> 00:52:43,026
Speaker 1: who have been around for much longer, you're like, this

1132
00:52:43,146 --> 00:52:45,186
Speaker 1: are my teams. These are new, they're fun, and yet

1133
00:52:45,426 --> 00:52:47,906
Speaker 1: they have the same tortured history. Of course, they both

1134
00:52:47,946 --> 00:52:50,146
Speaker 1: won championships. You know, the Mets have won in eighty

1135
00:52:50,226 --> 00:52:53,266
Speaker 1: six and sixty nine, the Jets won in sixty eight,

1136
00:52:54,386 --> 00:52:58,026
Speaker 1: but gosh, it's been a long long time, and Hank

1137
00:52:58,466 --> 00:53:00,226
Speaker 1: lives it, and I have so many friends who have

1138
00:53:00,306 --> 00:53:04,826
Speaker 1: that combo of Nicks, Jets, Mets, and it's just a

1139
00:53:04,986 --> 00:53:08,266
Speaker 1: miserable existence when it comes to post postseason success of

1140
00:53:08,306 --> 00:53:09,706
Speaker 1: the last thirty years.

1141
00:53:09,506 --> 00:53:11,666
Speaker 3: And I feel like they haven't. I don't know baseball

1142
00:53:11,666 --> 00:53:14,906
Speaker 3: well enough, but Jets at least that lot of excitement

1143
00:53:14,986 --> 00:53:18,866
Speaker 3: last season, but not nothing that compares quite to like

1144
00:53:19,386 --> 00:53:22,706
Speaker 3: bing Bong for the Knicks, like the Jets the Knicks.

1145
00:53:22,866 --> 00:53:25,546
Speaker 1: That's so the Knicks was such a sensation and that's

1146
00:53:25,626 --> 00:53:28,226
Speaker 1: one playoff game, the bing bong thing. All right, I

1147
00:53:28,266 --> 00:53:30,826
Speaker 1: love this episode. I hope you're listening at home. We're

1148
00:53:30,866 --> 00:53:33,626
Speaker 1: going to try to keep on bringing on good entertainment

1149
00:53:33,906 --> 00:53:35,946
Speaker 1: style guests and then we're going to sprinkle in some

1150
00:53:36,026 --> 00:53:37,866
Speaker 1: coaches and some gms over the next few weeks. But

1151
00:53:37,906 --> 00:53:41,546
Speaker 1: the podcast will be rocking and rolling on. Behalf of

1152
00:53:41,786 --> 00:53:44,826
Speaker 1: the great Aaron Wang Kaufman on, behalf of my dear

1153
00:53:44,906 --> 00:53:48,386
Speaker 1: buddy Jason English at iHeart on, behalf of all the

1154
00:53:48,466 --> 00:53:51,066
Speaker 1: crew in LA who worked for NFL Network and helped

1155
00:53:51,066 --> 00:53:55,346
Speaker 1: put this together. The Jason Kleman and Matt Schneider and

1156
00:53:55,386 --> 00:53:59,466
Speaker 1: Meredith Batton and David Juranka and that crew and then

1157
00:53:59,906 --> 00:54:04,026
Speaker 1: on behalf of the Awesome guests. Hank Kazaria brought it.

1158
00:54:04,106 --> 00:54:06,786
Speaker 1: He was tremendous. Last week, David Cross brought like, I

1159
00:54:06,866 --> 00:54:08,786
Speaker 1: want to be different with this thing. Hopefully you're just

1160
00:54:08,786 --> 00:54:11,386
Speaker 1: finding it or you're listening every week, but you'll see

1161
00:54:11,426 --> 00:54:13,986
Speaker 1: it's a different kind of podcast than the other football podcast.

1162
00:54:14,946 --> 00:54:17,466
Speaker 1: We're trying to be a little bit more broader and

1163
00:54:17,586 --> 00:54:19,946
Speaker 1: show some different lanes and try to bring in some

1164
00:54:20,066 --> 00:54:22,746
Speaker 1: entertainment guests who have a love for football and can

1165
00:54:22,786 --> 00:54:26,106
Speaker 1: speak it. As Hank so eloquently did about the New

1166
00:54:26,186 --> 00:54:29,626
Speaker 1: York Jets, and he's right. I think every Jets fan

1167
00:54:29,746 --> 00:54:32,506
Speaker 1: is bracing themselves and trying not to get too far

1168
00:54:32,546 --> 00:54:34,706
Speaker 1: in advance. But it's hard not to be optimistic.

1169
00:54:35,226 --> 00:54:38,706
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have optimism for the Jets personally.

1170
00:54:39,186 --> 00:54:43,226
Speaker 1: You're a Bills fan, I hear you. No, all right

1171
00:54:43,426 --> 00:54:46,746
Speaker 1: till next week, guys, this is this season with Peter Schrager.

1172
00:54:47,226 --> 00:54:50,746
Speaker 1: Love doing it, and go support Children's Mercy Hospital in

1173
00:54:50,786 --> 00:54:54,746
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Donate a dollar if you can. Amazing organization.

1174
00:54:54,866 --> 00:54:57,146
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of relishing in all that we did

1175
00:54:57,146 --> 00:54:59,946
Speaker 1: this week for that org and the big slick weekend
